Asiago Pepper Frico Food

CACIO E PEPE FRICO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, gently toss together the cheeses.
• Arrange heaping tablespoon-size mounds of the cheese mixture on the baking sheets, spacing them at least 1/2 inch apart. Using your fingers, gently pat down each mound to flatten. (It's O.K. if there are holes - the cheese will melt into a web.) Grind pepper over each round.
• Bake until golden and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets until crisp, then transfer to a serving plate using an offset spatula.

ASIAGO FRICO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss cheese and flour together. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into the pan to form a circle about 4 inches in diameter.
• Cook until the cheese is somewhat melted but not firm, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the cheese over, and cook until it is visibly firm and just taking on a little color, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Transfer the frico from the pan to a paper towel, and hold it in the palm of your hand. Press an offset spatula down the middle to form a taco shape. Transfer to paper towels to cool. Repeat with remaining cheese. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days.
