Cheddar frico is an easy-to-make lactose free topping of baked Cabot cheddar. It adds a unique crunchiness to this springtime lactose free salad of tangy arugula and radishes in a fresh, honey mustard vinaigrette.
Ingredients
4 ounces Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar, shredded (1 cup)
- 4 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

- 8 cups baby arugula, washed and spun dry (5 to 6 ounces)

Directions
- PREHEAT oven to 375 ºF.
- LINE a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or generously coat with cooking spray.
- DIVIDE the cheddar into 8 equal piles, spaced evenly on the baking sheet.
- BAKE, rotating the pan after 3 minutes, until the cheese melts and starts to turn golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
