Parmesan Basil And Lemon Wafers Frico Recipes

PARMESAN, BASIL AND LEMON WAFERS (FRICO) RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan mixture onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended for this recipe. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture, spacing the spoonfuls about 1/2-inch apart. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool and use a flat spatula to transfer from lined baking sheet.

LEAF-LETTUCE SALAD WITH PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Divide the cheese into four mounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, at least 4 inches apart. With the back of a spoon, spread each mound into an even 4-inch round.
• Bake until melted and golden brown, about 10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. With a thin metal spatula, transfer the crisps to a wire rack; let cool.
• Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-size pieces (about 12 cups). Toss with the vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper. Serve the salad with the Parmesan crisps.
• In a blender, combine the lemon juice, mustard, herbs, garlic, and 1/4 cup cold water; season with salt and pepper. Purée until smooth. With the motor running, add the olive oil in a steady stream until emulsified.

PARMESAN WAFERS

Steps:

• 4 big ones: Heat a 20cm good-quality non-stick frying pan. Scatter about 20g of the grated cheese over the base of the hot pan. Watch it melt (don't overcook or it will taste bitter) then sprinkle in a teaspoon of chopped chives and some black pepper. When the cheese is bubbly and golden, take the pan off the heat and cool for up to a minute, then the wafer can easily be lifted out with a palette knife. Repeat 3 times.
• 8 little ones: Heat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Line a large baking sheet with non-stick silicone sheet or baking parchment. Sprinkle the grated parmesan in 8 neat rounds using the inside of a 5cm cutter as a guide. Sprinkle some chives and black pepper onto each round. Bake for 5 minutes until the cheese bubbles and turns golden. Lift each round onto a rolling pin, cool until crisp, then lift off.
• The wafers will keep in an airtight tin for up to 3 days.
