Parmesan "Pops"

Preparation

• • With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place 6 sticks on the sheet making sure to leave enough space between each of them to be able to detach them from each other once the cheese is melted.
  • Place 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of Parmesan at the end of each stick. With your fingers, spread the cheese into a 7.5-cm (3-inch) in diameter circle. If desired, season with pepper.
  • Bake for about 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
  • Cool slightly and remove for the baking sheet.
  • Repeat with the remaining cheese.
  • To serve, simply invite your guests to bite into the "lollipops" at cocktail hour. They will keep for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container.
