Spiced Parmesan Cheese Crisps

About 15 minutes after you start this recipe, you can start munching on this crunchy snack-perhaps while watching holiday movies. You can also make these up to a day ahead and store them in an airtight container.

Ingredients:

• 10 egg roll wrappers
• Cooking oil spray
• 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
• 1 cup (4 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• ½ teaspoon red pepper (for a little less "kick" decrease to ¼ tsp)

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• Place egg roll wrappers in a single layer on baking sheets coated with cooking spray (don't let them overlap). Lightly brush with egg whites; cut each wrapper into 8 wedges. Combine cheese and remaining ingredients; sprinkle evenly over wedges.
• Bake at 425F for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.

Yield: 80 crisps (serving size: 4 crisps)
