I know, I didn’t know that term either. Fricos – means lacy wafers of baked, grated cheese. They are wonderful, salty, crispy and a perfect pairing for soups and salads.

 

• 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• pinch of salt and ground pepper
• 3 cups fresh strawberries (or raspberries, blackberries)
• 4 cups baby greens

For the fricos – grate the cheese and make  6 mounds on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in a preheated oven at 375 degrees and bake until melted, lacy and golden. Let cool down.

Wash and spin dry the baby greens. Mix together the balsamic vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.

Quarter the berries and add to the greens, Add the dressing and toss to coat. Place in 6 bowls and add the frico on top.

Quick, easy, cool on a hot summer day on the deck. Wow ! Yummy!
