CRISPY PARMESAN BOWLS
Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, spread 1/4 cup cheese thinly and evenly over the bottom to form a 7-inch circle. Put the pan over medium heat and cook until the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Put a small bowl upside down on a cutting board. When the bubbling stops, about 1 minute, carefully remove the disk with a thin metal spatula and drape it over the bowl. Press gently with the spatula so it forms a bowl. Be careful, as it is very fragile. Let cool.
- Remove the Parmesan bowl, put it onto a plate, and fill with Caesar salad. Serve.
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:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Whisk bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Stir butter, white wine, mustard, and garlic together in another bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast half into melted butter mixture; press into bread crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place breaded chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pat any leftover bread crumb mixture onto chicken breasts.
- Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips for Making Crispy Parmesan Cups:
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting properly.
- Grate the cheese finely. This will help the cups to crisp up evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave enough space between the cups so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the cups until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy all the way through.
- Let the cups cool completely before filling them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Fill the cups with your favorite fillings. Some popular options include marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, pesto, or a mixture of vegetables.
Conclusion:
Crispy Parmesan Cups are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack.
