Frico

By gapboy1379-2

Ingredients

• Silicone baking mat (such as silpat)
• 8 mounts of finely grated parmesan or granda padano cheese

Preparation

Step 1

•Preheat oven to 375°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with silicone mat.

•Working in 2 batches, scoop 8 mounds of finely grated Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese (1 tablespoon per mound) onto mat, spreading each mound about 3 inch wide and spacing at least 1 inch apart.

•Bake cheese until light brown and melted, 5–6 minutes (check occasionally while baking so it won't turn too brown). Remove sheet from oven and let frico cool completely. (To shape frico, leave baking sheet in oven with door open; use a small offset spatula to remove frico one at a time, working quickly to shape. To form tuile-like shapes, gently roll warm frico around the handle of a wooden spoon. To form cups, press onto the bottom and up the sides of a mini muffin pan. Keep frico warm until ready to mold; it hardens quickly as it cools.)
