Party Fricos - others

Method

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly spray each of 4 (9-inch) disposable aluminum pie tins with cooking spray.
• (Note: it is important that you use new, unblemished pie tins.)
• Using a 3-inch cookie cutter as a guide, place 1 tablespoon of grated cheese into the ring and spread evenly within the boundaries of the cutter.
• Repeat, forming 3 spreaded rounds of grated cheese on each prepared pie tin.
• Repeat with the remaining cheese and remaining pie tins you should have 12 spreaded rounds of cheese.
• Bake for 8 minutes, or until the fricos are golden brown and melted.
• Remove from the oven and remove the fricos from the pie tins using a metal spatula.
• Transfer to parchment lined cooling racks or inverted sheet pans to cool.
• Repeat the entire process with remaining cheese to form a total of 24 fricos.
• You should not have to re-oil the pans for the second batch of fricos.
• Note: If the fricos stick to the pie tins, return them to the oven for a few seconds and you should be able to remove them with the spatula.
• Also, fricos can be shaped when they just come out of the pan by draping them over rolling pins (for a cylinder shape) or the bottom of an upturned coffee cup or small bowl (for a small cup-shaped frico).
