Parmesan Crisps (Fricos)

Jump to Recipe

These Parmesan Fricos are are so addicting, you won’t be able to eat just one…. I promise. The flavor is so addictive, thanks in large part to the “umami” flavor the parmesan packs.  If you can go for the good stuff, get Parmesan Reggiano, you won’t be disappointed! But either way you’ll want a block of parmesan that you can shred (no powered parm here).

What is a Frico you ask? It’s a fancy word for a ‘crisp’ made of baked cheese.

I love to serve these with my Kale Caesar Salad, they’d also be a welcome addition to an antipasto platter… and honesty, sometimes I just eat them straight off the baking sheet (shhhhh don’t tell anyone).
