Montasio Cheese Crisps Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss together cheese and flour. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese mixture into skillet to form a 4-inch round.
• Cook until cheese is starting to melt and become firm, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Using a small offset spatula, turn; continue cooking until it is firm and slightly golden, 15 to 30 seconds more.
• Immediately drape frico over a rolling pin, and let cool slightly to set the shape. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture. If skillet gets too hot and frico begin to color too quickly, remove from heat for several minutes before proceeding.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
• Spacing them 1 to 2 inches apart, place 1-tablespoon mounds of the cheese on the Silpat. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook until the cheese melts and turns golden brown, about 7 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and set aside to cool on the baking sheet. Use the crisps as a garnish for soups and salads.

Steps:

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix the two cheeses together. On a large heavy ungreased baking sheet, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of the cheese in a thin layer in the form of a disk about 2 inches in diameter. Make as many additional disks as will fit comfortably about 1 inch apart. 2 Bake in the center of the oven 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. 3 Place several overturned juice glasses on a countertop. When the cheese crisps are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Working quickly (because they firm up rapidly as they cool), remove the cheese wafers from the baking sheet one by one with a thin metal spatula, then gently mold the disks over the glasses. Let cool until firm. Carefully remove the cheese crisps from the glasses. Repeat baking and molding the remaining cheese. 4 Store in an airtight container up to 1 week. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."
