Hi, I'm Debra! Nothing brings me greater joy than talking about food. Especially talking about food that I’ve traveled far and wide to get to.

Author's Notes

You must use the real parmigiano reggiano for this recipe. NOT the stuff in the canister.

The other thing you must do is grate it yourself, and you need to use a box grater. I tried using a microplane but two things happened. One, it takes a heck of a lot longer to grate enough cheese on a microplane to make these. Two, they just didn’t have the same lacy texture.

step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
step 2
Grate Parmigiano-Reggiano (2 Tbsp) on the small side of a box grater. I found that it worked better if the cheese was perpendicular to the counter, giving you longer shreds. This gave the frico a lacier texture.

step 3
Heap two tablespoons of grated cheese for each crisp into well-spaced piles on the parchment. You can gently tap it down on top if you want.

Bake for 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbling and beginning to crisp. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely before lifting off the parchment.
