cookMontasio Cheese Crisps

Known as Frico in Croatia, these traditional snacks may be stuffed with a variety of fillings. When making this simple version, we added a little flour to help it hold its shape.
From: Saveur MAKES 10 CRISPS (See also hazelnet.org/cookbook/21/frico.html )

½ lb. (about 2 cups) montasio (or asiago) cheese
1 tbsp. flour
Extra-virgin olive oil

Combine cheese with flour in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly.

Lightly grease a large cast-iron skillet with extra-virgin olive oil, then place over medium-low heat. Spoon 2 tbsp. of cheese onto heated skillet for each 2''–3'' round. Allow cheese to melt and edges to turn golden brown. Cook, without touching, for about 3 minutes, then turn with a spatula (when ready, frico should come away easily from pan) and continue cooking for 2 minutes.

Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining cheese. Serve at room temperature.
