Ingredients

  • Finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano PDO 150g piece of cheese grated makes about 20-24 crackers

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
  • Finely grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano using a microplane or the small holes of a box grater.
  • Portion about 2 tablespoons of grated cheese per frico and gently shape into loose 3-inch rounds on the parchment-lined tray. Do not pack the cheese down. Leave space between each round.
  • Bake for about 6 minutes, until fully melted and lightly golden at the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and let the frico sit on the tray for 2–3 minutes to set and crisp.
  • Carefully lift with a spatula and let cool completely before serving.
