Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 crisps

Ingredients

1 (3-oz) piece Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Special Equipment

a nonstick bakeware liner such as a Silpat pad

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F.

    Step 2

    Using largest holes on a 4-sided grater, coarsely shred enough cheese to measure 1 cup.

    Step 3

    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.

    Step 4

    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.
