Frico A web-exclusive recipe from Italian Cooking and Living|
To make this crisp cheese pancake, you will need Montasio
(a nutty cows' milk cheese), preferably aged between 16 and 18 months. Asiago
makes a fine substitute.
1 pound Montasio, grated
Heat a non-stick skillet over a flame tamer. When it is hot,
sprinkle in one quarter of the grated Montasio; let it melt slowly. Helping
yourself with a fork, press down on the frico; turn it to cook the other side,
letting the fat drip away. Turn it 3 or 4 more times. The frico should cook
for a total of 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the frico take on a reddish
color.
While the frico is still warm, drape it over an upside-down
cup to give it its characteristic rounded shape. Cool; it should become crispy.
Continue with the remaining cheese, making a total of 4 fricos. Serves 4
