Lacy Parmesan Crisps

These elegant lacy Parmesan crisps are a sophisticated, single-ingredient snack that brings a concentrated savoury punch to any occasion. Known in Italy as frico, these delicate wafers are made by melting high-quality Parmigiano-Reggiano until it becomes beautifully golden and crisp. Their intricate, web-like texture and nutty flavour make them an impressive addition to a cheese board or a stylish garnish for salads and creamy soups.

This vegetarian recipe is incredibly simple to master, requiring only a few minutes in the oven and a non-stick surface. Because they are naturally gluten-free and high in protein, they serve as an excellent alternative to traditional crackers. For the best results, use a wedge of authentic Italian cheese rather than pre-grated varieties to ensure the perfect melt and a superior toasted flavour.
