Frico Recipe Video
Parmesan cheese crisps (Frico) - This recipe is so easy (basically one ingredient!) - and makes a very elegant appetizer or garnish. Be careful with these while they are warm, and try to make this dish on low humidity day for maximum success
Ingredients
1/4 lb high quality parmigiano reggiano
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
optional: add a little cumin or caraway seeds
(these quantities will make about 15 crisps, if you want more use more cheese)
Directions
Grate cheese on the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle with
black pepper.
Prepare a baking pan by lining with parchment paper and spraying lightly
with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place level tablespoons of
cheese on baking sheet and flatten slightly, with spoon or spatula. Do not crowd as
crisps will spread.
Bake on middle rack of oven for 6-8 mins or until just golden brown.
Allow to cool on pan, then carefully remove onto paper towels to drain.
Crisps can be prepared two days ahead and stored in an airtight container,
in single layers between wax paper at room temp.
Crisps can be shaped while stil warm into small bowls by placing gently over
an turned down shot glass
black pepper.

She has no idea what "Frico" is. As someone who lives in the Friuli region of Italy, where "Frico" originated, I can say this is not "Frico" at all. "Frico" does not even has "parmeigiano"(parmesan?) cheese in it, it requires "Montasio" cheese, which is a stringy cheese, similar to "Fontana" cheese. It also requires either potatoes, panceta or onions. What she is cooking is not "Frico", it might be tasty but definitely, not "Frico"!

After putting your hands in your hair and then in the cheese, how much of your hair ended up in the finished product?

Just because you have hair doesn't mean it falls out every time you touch it.
