Tips:

  • Use a good quality Asiago cheese. A hard, aged Asiago will give the frico a more robust flavor.
  • If you don't have a microplane, you can use a box grater to grate the cheese. Just be sure to use the smallest holes on the grater.
  • Be careful not to overcook the frico. It should be golden brown and bubbly, but not burnt.
  • Let the frico cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.
  • Serve the frico as an appetizer or snack, or use it as a topping for salads, soups, or pasta dishes.
