1 cup (or more) shredded parmesan cheese
2 eggs
7 tbsp butter

Mix all ingredients together. Shape into balls, and sprinkle each with salt and pepper. Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. If they're not slightly brown and crispy, bake a little longer, or put under the broiler for a minute or two.
