Président® Manchego Crisps
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
- Coarsely grate the Président® Manchego.
- Pour a tablespoon of the grated Manchego onto baking sheet. Pat into a thin round (about 2 1/2-inches in diameter). Sprinkle generously with black pepper. Repeat with remaining cheese, making sure to leave about an inch between each round.
- Bake for 8 minutes until the cheese turns a deep golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then loosen and place on a wire cooling rack.
- Tear the Serrano ham into 2-inch pieces. Slice Brie into 1-inch slices, cut the quince paste into very small cubes, and chop the Marcona almonds.
- Top each Manchego Crisp with a slice of Brie, a couple pieces of Serrano ham, a few quince cubes, and a sprinkling of chopped almonds. Serve immediately.
