Manfrigole

Manfrigole are a variety of pancakes made with a combination of buckwheat and white wheat flour, filled with Bresaola and Casera cheeses. The dish is traditionally prepared in the mountains of Valtellina. Milk-soaked bread can be added to the filling in order to make it more compact. Once filled, manfrigole are topped with cubes of Casera and baked until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. This nutritious dish is perfect for colder days and it is best enjoyed straight from the oven, drizzled with melted butter and sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese.
