Frico Fritella Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Grate the Montasio cheese finely and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Duck Prosciutto

    Slice the duck prosciutto into thin strips and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Spruce Tips

    Rinse the spruce tips under cold water and chop them coarsely.

    Cook the Mixture

    In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated Montasio cheese and cook until it begins to melt and bubble.

  5. 5

    Season the mixture with black pepper and salt to taste. Stir to ensure even seasoning.

    Add Water and Final Cooking

    Pour in the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is creamy and the cheese has fully melted, about 3-4 minutes.
