CRISPY PARMESAN CUPS
I saw something similar to this on Behind the Bash with Giada D. and came up with these. They served mac and cheese in them but you could really serve anything in them that would taste good with crispy parmesan. An easy way to fancy up your appetizers! You will need 2 mini muffin pans for molding the cups. UPDATE: When I tried posting Zaar would not accept it because it only had 1 ingredient so I added the black pepper. Although it does not call for it, a small crack of black pepper on each crisp probably wouldn't be too bad. Thanks!

Steps:
- Heat a small non stick pan on the stove top over med. heat.
- Place 1 tbs. cheese on a small pile, about the size of a quarter, cook until cheese melts and flip over (this is where you could add a small crack of ground pepper to the cheese if you like), continue cooking until they are light golden brown.
- Place a mini muffin tin upside down on a flat surface.
- Drape cheese over the "molds" of the pan and press down with a second inverted mini muffin tin.
- Let cool and remove from molds.
- You can trim off any excess cheese for a more uniform cup.
STRAWBERRY-ARUGULA SALAD IN CRISPY PARMESAN CUPS
The best part of this salad is the edible bowl it's served in. Parmesan cheese becomes crispy after it's baked and an upside-down muffin pan is the perfect pan for creating the edible cups. If you don't plan to serve the salad right away, leave the salad undressed and the cups unfilled so they don't become soggy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat. Turn a muffin tin upside down and coat the bottoms with nonstick cooking spray. Form 3 (1/3-cup) mounds of Parmesan cheese on the silicone mat and pat out each to a 5-inch circle. Bake until the cheese melts and is browned and bubbly, 5 to 6 minutes. Working with one circle at a time, quickly lift each round of cheese to the muffin tin, gently pressing the edges to create a dome. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the honey, vinegar, shallot and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss together the arugula, strawberries, parsley, green onions and pecans in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. To serve, place the Parmesan cups onto serving plates and divide the salad evenly among them.
PARMESAN CRISPS (FRICO)
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Using largest holes on a 4-sided grater, coarsely shred enough cheese to measure 1 cup.
- Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner. Stir together cheese, flour, and pepper. Arrange tablespoons of cheese 4 inches apart on liner, stirring cheese in bowl between tablespoons to keep flour evenly distributed. Flatten each mound slightly with a metal spatula to form a 3-inch round.
- Bake frico in middle of oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on sheet on a rack, then carefully transfer each crisp (they are very delicate) with metal spatula to rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cups.
- Make sure the cheese is grated finely. This will help it melt evenly and create a crispy crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when baking the cups. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Bake the cups until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the cups cool slightly before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cups soggy.
- You can use any type of filling you like. Some popular options include marinara sauce, pesto, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Crispy Parmesan cups are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of fillings. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these crispy Parmesan cups a try. You won't be disappointed!
