Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons shredded basil leaves
  • 1/2 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Directions

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.

    Yummy and Impressive

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These wafers were delicious. I made one batch and me, my husband and 2 year old daughter ate them all. I will be making... these for a surprise party this weekend and will make a day ahead and triple the recipe. I used store brand shredded parmesean cheese and they turned out just fine. They were not too salty at all. I didn't use enough lemon zest, though, so I bought a zester and will do it correctly this time. You must pat them down because if you don't the middle ends up not getting cooked. Read more

    Sorry Giada - I'll stick with your other dishes

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    As much as I hate to say anything about Giada, b/c I think she, and her cooking, are terrific, I must say - I was... disappointed...and I will say I did buy the expensive parmigiano-reggiano cheese. I love that cheese on its own - or on pasta - but... this just didn't do it for me, or my husband. Looking forward to trying your next one, Giada!!!Read more

    Rave reviews from guests - Ultra yummy and soooo easy

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have made these Fricos a number of times for a wide variety of people with the same result - I've fooled everyone into... thinking I can cook! Rave reviews & requests for recipes, what more could you ask for? These have become a frequently requested "signature" dish of mine. Guida, thanks for making me look good! I tend to cook these a minute (+/-) longer than suggested as the slightly browned edges are tastier ane more visually appealing to me. I also put them on paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil (a personal quirk) before plating. They're addictive so make plenty. They even travel well. Read more

    Needs a partner

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Like many other reviewers, I found these to be very salty. I bought the cheese from a very reputable place, so I'm pretty... sure it was of good quality. I'm not very keen on salty foods, though, so it could just be a personal preference. I think these might be great as an accompaniment to something, maybe a tomato salad. On its own, I'm not terribly impressed.Read more
