CHEDDAR FRICO
Frico, or "little trifles" in Italian, are very thin and crisp. When sprinkling the cheese mixture in the skillet, don't worry if there are spaces; the cheese will melt into a lacy whole. In Italy, frico are traditionally made with Montasio cheese, but other cheeses, such as cheddar, Asiago, and Parmesan, produce excellent results.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss together cheese and flour. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese mixture into skillet to form a 4-inch round.
- Cook until cheese is starting to melt and become firm, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Using a small offset spatula, turn; continue cooking until it is firm and slightly golden, 15 to 30 seconds more.
- Immediately drape frico over a rolling pin, and let cool slightly to set the shape. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture. If skillet gets too hot and frico begin to color too quickly, remove from heat for several minutes before proceeding.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan mixture onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended for this recipe. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture, spacing the spoonfuls about 1/2-inch apart. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool and use a flat spatula to transfer from lined baking sheet.
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.
FRICO CRISPS
Steps:
- In a medium non-stick skillet melt enough butter to just coat the bottom of the pan over medium heat. Sprinkle a fine layer of grated cheese in a circular pattern over the bottom of the pan and shake the pan to evenly distribute, as though making an omelet. Cook over medium heat until it has melted and formed a light crust, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue to cook until the edges set and a golden crust develops, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Gently lift and turn with a spatula or fork and cook until lightly golden on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
- Remove the frico from the pan and either set it flat on a paper towel, shape it over an inverted custard cup, or drape over a rolling pin or dowel. Continue with the remaining cheese.
CRISPY FRICO CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MUSHROOMS AND THYME
The Italian word "frico" describes cheese that is cooked until toasted and crisp - but what results is something like the greatest cheese wafer you've ever had. That technique is applied here to boneless, skinless chicken breasts to give them a boost in flavor and texture. Like any properly cooked protein, the frico exterior will release easily from the skillet when it's ready, so wait for it. Umami-heavy mushrooms are a great accompaniment, but any quick-cooking vegetable will work. Try chopped zucchini or whole cherry tomatoes in the summer, slow-wilting greens like curly kale or mustard greens in fall, or go all in with a ton of onions.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees and place the Parmesan on a plate. Lightly season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in Parmesan and turn to coat, patting to help it stick.
- In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms, onion and herbs, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally and scraping up any cheese that may be stuck to the pan, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Place chicken on top of vegetables and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the vinegar to the vegetables and toss to combine; serve with chicken.
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.
ZUCCHINI FRICO
It may be daunting to imagine, but this dish is really quite simple. All you do is take some good hard cheese, grate it, spread it in a nonstick pan and let it melt until it turns golden. Montasio is traditional, but Parmesan, asiago or a young, not too salty pecorino will all work well, too, so use whatever you have. You can form frico into small individual crackers for neater serving, or you can make one large cracker the size of your pan and break it apart as you devour it. Frico on its own doesn't need much embellishment. All it truly requires is a chilled cocktail or a glass of Italian white wine served alongside. But this one incorporates zucchini. First, I browned thin rounds of zucchini in olive oil, then I topped them with the cheese and let them cook. It took only five minutes, plus another minute or so to let the cheese crisp up after I turned it out of the pan.

Steps:
- Brush a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over medium-high until hot. Arrange half the zucchini rounds in a single layer, allowing about an inch of space between them. Cook, without moving them, until undersides are dark golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden, about 2 minutes more.
- Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over zucchini and into the spaces between it. Cook, without moving, until cheese looks lacy and translucent, and no longer sticks to the pan, about 5 minutes. Tip the skillet and using a spatula, gently help slide the frico in one piece onto a large plate. Sprinkle with torn basil and finish with pepper. Repeat with remaining zucchini and cheese. Break into pieces to serve.

- Line a baking sheet or griddle with parchment paper (if you have a reusable silicone baking pad, a silpat, you can use that). Parchment is miraculous stuff, impregnated with silicon, and it is the best way to keep frico from sticking. If you cook frico on the grill, and you use parchment paper, make sure it is not hanging over the edges so it won't catch fire. If you don't have parchment, coat the pan lightly with a high smoke point oil such as olive oil. You can use a griddle or even a frying pan on top of a burner, but the method below is for a baking sheet with parchment, the easiest way to do this.
- Shape. Grate the cheese on a box grater using the large holes. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Scoop the cheese mix 1 tablespoon at a time and make 1 tablespoon piles on the parchment or silpat. Press each mound to less than ⅛ inch high, and leave at least ¼ inch between piles. Don't make them too thick or they will be chewy rather than crispy.
- Close the lid and bake about 8 to 10 minutes on the middle grate of the oven until bubbly and slightly golden. If you use a dark colored baking sheet they will cook more quickly, so watch them carefully. If they brown too much they will be bitter. Take them away from the heat and let them cool for no more than a minute, then work them loose from the parchment paper (easy to do) or the oiled surface (a little trickier) with a thin spatula. Cool for about 15 minutes on paper towels to absorb any oil that was on the cooking surface or that has exuded from the cheese. If you have more than one batch to bake, you can use the parchment more than once.
