Frisco (Cheese Crisps)
1 cup finely shredded or grated Parmigiano-reggiano (you can
also try asiago, aged Cheddar, aged Gouda, Manchego, or another hard cheese)
1 tsp. lightly toasted crushed cumin seeds or fennel seeds (or
another spice if you like)
1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Cover
2 large baking sheets with parchment. Combine the cheese and
spice. Sprinkle 2 Tbs. of the mixture on the parchment to form a 4- to 41-inch round.
Spread the cheese evenly with a fork. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, leaving
2 inches between each round. 2. Bake each sheet (one at a time) until the
crisps just begin to color, 6 to 8 minutes. Don’t let them fully brown or the
cheese will be bitter. Use a spatula to lift the edges of the crisps and loosen
them from the pan. Remove the crisps and immediately lay them over a rolling
pin or the side of a bottle to give them a curved shape. Or for a flat frico,
just transfer to paper towels. When cooled, store the crisps in an airtight
container for up to 2 days.
