It is a little difficult to get these just perfect but serve as an appetizer with some black pitted olives and green pimento olives and you will see it is worth the effort. Ingredients:
1 pound parmesan or cheese of choice |
oil spray or vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Grate the cheese coarsely.
2. Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
3. Brush lightly with oil, or spray with your oil spray.
4. Spread about 2 Tbs. of cheese into a circle about 4 inches wide. Cook for about two minutes or until the edges are golden.
5. Carefully using either your fingers or a spatula turn the frico over and cook an additional minute.
6. If they edge begin to fold up while cooking, just flatten with the spatula.
7. Transfer to a paper towel to dry, or fold gently over the bottom of a cup to shape.
8. Continue making the frico in this manner until you have used up all your cheese.
9. Your wafers should be golden in color and lacy in appearance. If you make them too thick they will be chewy rather than crispy, and if you brown them too much they will taste bitter.
10. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
