Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Add the sliced leeks and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Stir in the chopped broccoli rabe, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Frico
In a non-stick skillet, sprinkle a thin layer of grated Montasio cheese over the bottom and cook over medium heat until the cheese melts and turns golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- 5
Carefully spoon some of the filling mixture onto one half of the melted cheese. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape and press gently.

Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is crispy and golden brown. Slide onto a plate and repeat with the remaining cheese and filling.
