These shatteringly crisp Italian cheese wafers are a fantastic addition to life (and salads in particular). For an even more substantial salad topping, see Frico Eggs.

I. Makes 1 large, unruly crisp

Toss together in a small bowl:

Sprinkle in an even layer in a large nonstick skillet to form an 8-inch round. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully lift the pancake onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels and blot dry.

II. Makes 8 crisps

Preheat the oven to 300°F. Have ready a large nonstick baking sheet or line a large baking sheet with parchment and lightly brush with olive oil. Have ready:

Using 1 tablespoon cheese per chip, sprinkle into 3 ½-inch rounds on the baking sheet. Bake until the chips are golden and have stopped bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to cool completely.
