How to make Creamy Pumpkin Soup with Toasted Hazelnut Frico
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper.
Add the hazelnuts to a large soup pot over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about four to five minutes. Remove the hazelnuts to a small bowl and reserve the pot.
For the hazelnut frico: Sprinkle the cheese into eight thin rounds, about 5cm wide on the prepared baking sheet. Finely grind the toasted hazelnuts in a food processor, and evenly sprinkle over cheese rounds. Evenly drizzle the rounds with a small amount of olive oil. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about five to six minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
