If you are a fan of Italian cuisine, you must try making the famous fluffy frico. This delicious traditional dish from Friuli in northeastern Italy is a delightful combination of melted cheese and crispy edges. Here, we will guide you through the steps to master the art of making fluffy frico right in your own kitchen.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup of shredded Montasio cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
  • Black pepper for seasoning
  • A non-stick frying pan
  • A spatula

Step 1: Preparing the Pan

Start by heating your non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the pan is clean and dry before you begin.

Step 2: Mixing the Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded Montasio cheese and flour. Toss the cheese and flour together until they are evenly coated. This coating will help create the perfect crispy texture for your frico.

Step 3: Cooking the Frico

Once the pan is heated, sprinkle the cheese and flour mixture evenly onto the pan. Use the back of your spatula to press the cheese down gently, creating an even layer. Allow the frico to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Flipping the Frico

When the bottom of the frico is perfectly crispy, carefully flip it using a spatula. Be gentle to prevent it from breaking. Allow the other side to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until it turns golden brown.

Step 5: Seasoning and Serving

Once both sides of the frico are crispy and golden, transfer it to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Season the frico with freshly ground black pepper and any additional spices or herbs you prefer. Cut it into wedges and serve immediately while it’s still warm and gooey.

Tips and Variations

  • If you can’t find Montasio cheese, you can use a combination of mild cheddar and mozzarella for a similar result.
  • Add finely chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.
  • For a twist on the traditional frico, add some thinly sliced prosciutto or cooked vegetables before flipping it.

Now that you know the secrets to making fluffy frico, it’s time to indulge in this heavenly Italian delight. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, a snack, or a main course, it is sure to impress your family and friends with its irresistible flavor and texture. Buon appetito!
