Parmesan Cups Recipes

PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2 inch apart.
• Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.

SPRING SALAD IN PARMESAN CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or lightly oiled parchment paper. Invert 4 small ramekins onto a cutting board; set aside.
• Toss the cheese and flour in a bowl, then make 4 mounds on each of the prepared baking sheets (about 2 tablespoons cheese per mound). Spread into 5-inch rounds. Working with one pan at a time, bake until the cheese is golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, 1 minute. Using a thin metal spatula, remove the cheese rounds and drape over the inverted ramekins. Let cool completely, then remove to a platter.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water. Cook the fava beans in the boiling water until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, adding the snap peas during the last minute of cooking. Transfer the favas and peas to the ice water with a slotted spoon; drain well. Remove the papery shells from the favas. Pat the snap peas dry and cut in half.
• Whisk the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, honey, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl; whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Add the favas, snap peas, lettuce, radishes, chives and tarragon; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among the parmesan cups.

PARMESAN BASKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place about 2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese onto a silicone sheet or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and gently spread the cheese out into a circle about 2 inches in diameter. Spread more circles of cheese onto the baking sheet, keeping them at least 1 inch apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove from the oven, and let cool on the sheets until warm; while still warm, drape the wafers over a small bowl or other container. Let cool. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

PARMESAN HASH BROWN CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 12 muffin tins with cooking spray; set aside. In large bowl, combine potatoes, onions, cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss lightly with a fork. Drizzle on olive oil. Toss with fork again until mixture is well combined. Spoon mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups. With the back of the spoon, apply gentle pressure to pack mixture into each cup. Bake for 60-75 minutes in lower third of oven. Let rest for 5 minutes, run a small knife or spatula around the edge of each cup, making sure the edges are loosened. Gently lift each potato cup out, invert it, place on serving plate bottom side up. Good served warm or room temperature.
• MAKE AHEAD FOR COOKING LATER: Combine mixture, spoon it into muffin tins, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to bake. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking time. May be made the night before to cook and serve for breakfast the next day.
• MAKE AND COOK AHEAD FOR REHEATING LATER: These are best when eaten freshly baked. However, they can be baked ahead of time, refrigerated or frozen, and reheated before serving. They lose some of their crispiness when reheated, but the texture and taste is still good.
• FOR BITE-SIZE TATER TOTS - make them in mini muffin pans.

CRISPY PARMESAN CUPS

• 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.

PARMESAN CUPS WITH ORZO 'RISOTTO'

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bring stock to a boil in a 6- to 8-cup saucepan; stir in the orzo, cover, and turn heat to medium-low. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
• Use a 1/4-cup measure to make four rounds of Parmesan on a non-stick baking sheet. Smooth the rounds into thin pancakes, 5 or 6 inches across; the thickness need not be perfectly uniform. Place baking sheet in oven.
• The Parmesan rounds are done when the centers darken slightly and the edges begin to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove sheet from oven, and let it stand for about a minute; then, carefully lift each of the rounds and drape it over the bottom of narrow cup or glass to form a cup shape. Let dry for about 5 minutes.
• The orzo is done when it is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Season it with pepper and very little salt, then stir in the parsley. Spoon a portion of the orzo into each of the Parmesan cups, and serve.
