RACHAEL RAY'S CAESAR-FILLED FRICOS
Caesar salad served in mini bowls made out of Parmigiano - so cute and delicious! You can also fill the cheese bowls with any other type of salad. I saw these on Rachael's holiday open house show with John Cusack.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- On a large nonstick baking sheet, place about 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese in circles about 4 inches across. Place the baking sheet into the oven until the cheese melts and turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the cheese rounds are in the oven, set up 8 small cups or bowls on your countertop upside down.
- Once the cheese is golden, quickly remove the tray from the oven and, using a small knife or spatula, lift up the cheese rounds and place them over the inverted cups or bowls and allow them to cool. On the show she used an empty egg container but you could also use mini muffin tins.
- While the cheese bowls are cooling, combine the lettuce, anchovy paste, lemon juice and Parmigiano in a mixing bowl. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, and toss to combine.
- When the cheese cups are completely cooled, arrange them on a serving platter and fill each one with a small scoop of the Caesar salad. Serve immediately.
NO-EGG CAESAR DRESSING (RACHAEL RAY'S)(OLD SUB SAILOR)
I love the simplicity of the ingredients. I don't always want a heavy caesar dressing. Best of all was the reaction of my teenaged son, who exclaimed with a surprised expression, "This is good!" when he first tried it. Feel free to add more garlic or double recipe. (Old Sub Sailor) Fish sauce adds anchovie taste.

Tips:
- Use a microplane grater to finely grate the Parmesan cheese. This will help it melt evenly and create a smooth, creamy filling.
- If you don't have a microplane grater, you can use a food processor to grate the Parmesan cheese. Just be sure to pulse it in short bursts so that the cheese doesn't become too powdery.
- Use good quality mayonnaise. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the filling.
- Don't overcook the fricos. They should be golden brown and crispy, but not burnt.
- Serve the fricos warm, with a side of dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Rachael Ray's Caesar-filled fricos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They're crispy, cheesy, and filled with a creamy, flavorful Caesar filling. Serve them with a side of dipping sauce and enjoy!
