Notes

Taste the cheese mixture before shaping your cheese crisps into hearts—you might want to adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Spread cheese hearts out on the baking sheet. The parmesan hearts will expand as they bake, so be sure to keep at least an inch between each cheese crisp.
If your cheese hearts seem clumpy, use the flat side of a spoon to gently flatten and even them out before baking.
When spooning the cheese into the heart shape, tidy up any excess around the edges to keep the crisps' heart shape intact.
Watch your oven closely while cheese hearts bake, as every oven is different. They can burn quickly if left too long, and the crisps will taste bitter.
Make cheese crisps in batches if you run out of room on your baking sheet and/or choose to spread out your cheese hearts generously.
