This is the perfect appetizer for unexpected guests because it can be easily prepared in a matter of minutes. It's also a crowd-pleaser.
1-1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup minced fresh basil leaves
Butter
Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Generously butter the surfaces of 2 cookie sheets.
In mixing bowl, combine cheese with basil. Place heaping tablespoons of cheese mixture 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
Butter the bottom of a drinking glass and press bottom of glass onto cheese mounds to flatten them into "doilies." (Bottom of glass may have to be re-buttered several times.)
Bake 5 minutes, then turn cheese doilies over with a spatula. Bake an additional 2 minutes, or until doilies are golden and crisp.
