In Italy, they are typically made from Montasio cheese – but cheddar, asiago, and parmesan are perfect for making thin, crunchy fricos as well!

Fricos are perfect because they are simple and easy – plus they involve just one ingredient (unless you’d like to try adding chives, herbs, or salt and pepper) – plus it doesn’t take any fancy equipment to make these delicious, addictive, and simple keto crunchy baked cheese crackers!

How to Make Baked Parmesan Crisps

It is important to let fricos cool completely before eating to get a crunchy, crisp texture.

Before these keto cheese crackers set, however, you can lay them on a rolling pin to shape them like a taco shell (perfect for keto tacos!) or over a bowl for a mini bowl shaped cracker you could fill with soft cheese, dip, or even vegetables!
