In the nineties, frico—crisp little discs of grated cheese, fried to an irresistible chewy crispness—were all the rage at trendy Italian eateries.

Ingredients

Part skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup(s), shredded

Grated Parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp, freshly grated

All-purpose flour

1 Tbsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.
  2. Combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and flour in a small bowl. Drop the cheese mixture by tablespoons onto the baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart, making 16 crisps. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden, with darker brown edges, 5–7 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool for 1 minute. Carefully remove the crisps from the baking sheets with a thin metal spatula and place on paper towels to cool completely. Serve at once, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
  4. Yields 1 crisp per serving.

Notes

Who’d have thought that WeightWatchers® anticipated the trend as far back as the sixties, when members made Cheese Crisps in their Teflon frying pans? Now, as then, these savory little treats make great cocktail nibbles.
