Cacio E Pepe Frico

• ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces)
• ¾ cup freshly grated pecorino cheese (about 2 ounces)

Freshly ground black pepper

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, gently toss together the cheeses.
2. Arrange heaping tablespoon-size mounds of the cheese mixture on the baking sheets, spacing them at least 1/2 inch apart. Using your fingers, gently pat down each mound to flatten. (It’s O.K. if there are holes — the cheese will melt into a web.) Grind pepper over each round.
3. Bake until golden and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets until crisp, then transfer to a serving plate using an offset spatula.
