The theme for March is similar to the November 2023 theme of Something From Nothing. That was where I made cookies out of whatever odd ingredient was in my baking pantry. At the time there was a poll taken with the two choices being 1) Something From Nothing and 2) Well That Was Easy. I knew that I wanted to return to the Well That Was Easy Theme in 2024.

I have decidedly simple recipes in my stack of recipes. These will become the Well That Was Easy makes.

This week, to kick off March will be the Parmesan Crispy Wonton Crackers.

I had two choices again, use storebought egg roll wrappers or make my own. Out of expediency, I bought egg roll wrappers. The homemade ones will have to wait until I am not preparing to leave for a conference. I have to practice rolling out dough to very thin some other time.

This recipe is very easy, very fitting with the theme. Egg roll wrappers, cut into strips, olive oil to wrappers, top with parmesan cheese. The original recipe called for thyme and parsley. I decided against that for 2 reasons (always the 2), 1) I hate parsley and 2) the OR is skeptical of green stuff, jalapeno chocolate chip cookies notwithstanding.

Bake the doctored strips at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-9 minutes. Keep careful watch, these brown super fast.

I did hold back about 15 that I thought had gotten too brown. I am going to crunch these for use as salad toppers. What salad isn’t improved by a little crunch?
