Time 10m
Yield 8 to 10 crisps
Number Of Ingredients 1
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2 inch apart.

PARMESAN CRISPS (FRICO)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Using largest holes on a 4-sided grater, coarsely shred enough cheese to measure 1 cup.
- Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner. Stir together cheese, flour, and pepper. Arrange tablespoons of cheese 4 inches apart on liner, stirring cheese in bowl between tablespoons to keep flour evenly distributed. Flatten each mound slightly with a metal spatula to form a 3-inch round.
- Bake frico in middle of oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on sheet on a rack, then carefully transfer each crisp (they are very delicate) with metal spatula to rack to cool completely.
PARMESAN FRICO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place tablespoon-size mounds of Parmesan on the paper at least 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound of cheese with the bottom of a glass or the back of a spoon and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese has spread out to a 1- to 1 1/2-inch round and is bubbling and golden around the edges. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool the frico completely.
FRICO/PARMESAN CHIPS
Steps:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle enough Parmesan cheese to just cover the bottom of the pan (for a 9-inch pan, use about 3-4 tablespoons cheese). When it is golden brown - which can take less than 1 minute - use a pair of tongs to grab the edge and gently lift it out of the pan. Turn and cook the other side briefly.
- Blot excess oil on a paper towel.
- Working quickly, shape the frico on a rolling pin to form a cylinder, oraround the base of a cup to form a basket.
- Serve alone as an assaggino - the little morsel you offer guests when theyarrive.
Tips:
- Use freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the cheese is spread evenly on the parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Bake the chips in a preheated oven to ensure they cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on the chips while they are baking to prevent them from burning.
- Allow the chips to cool completely before serving.
- Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Serve the chips as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
- Garnish the chips with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for extra flavor.
