Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place 1-1½ tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. (One of these is essential or your cheese will stick!)Spread the cheese out so each round measures about 4" wide. Leave about 2" gaps between your rounds. You can fit 6-8 rounds onto each baking sheet. If using garlic powder, sprinkle each round with some of the powder to make these "Garlic Parmesan" crisps.
- Bake for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is just melted. You do not want to brown your cheese!
- Remove from oven and let cool for 40-60 seconds.
- Use a spatula and quickly but carefully place each round over every other slot on your muffin tin tray. Use your fingers or a shot glass to press the cheese down into the cups. You want to do this while the cheese is still slightly hot so they will mold easily. It is okay if your cheese overlaps the tin.
- While waiting for crips to cool, add your salad and dressing to a large bowl and mix until coated. Use as much dressing as you wish but I prefer a generous amount of dressing. You do not need to use the entire ½ cup.
- Once your cups are cooled, fill each cup while still in the muffin tin. Keep them in the tin until your ready to serve. If you only have one muffin tin, fill each cup and place them onto your serving tray. Garnish with more parmesan cheese or croutons if you like!
