A glass of prosecco, the sparkling wine, is a great way to round out this appetizer. Crispy thin and lacy, fricos are wafers of cheese, which here are shaped into baskets. If spinach is not your thing, a mesclun spring mix will work just fine.

Preparation:

Heat nonstick skillet (7-1/2 inches/19 cm across top, 5 inches/12 cm across bottom) over medium heat. For each basket, sprinkle half of the cheese over skillet; cook until colour deepens, 2 to 3 minutes. Loosen with spatula and immediately place over espresso or custard cup; let cool. (Make-ahead: Let stand for up to 4 hours.)

In small skillet, toast pine nuts over medium heat until golden, 2 minutes.

In bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; add spinach and toss to coat. Divide between frico baskets. Sprinkle with pine nuts.
