Spring Salad In Parmesan Cups Recipes

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.

• For the Parmesan Frico Cups:
• Place a silpat mat on a baking sheet. Place 6 (1/4-cup) mounds of Parmesan cheese on the mat and gently tap down until each mound is flat and 4 1/2 to 5 inches in diameter. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Working quickly, use a thin spatula to transfer the Parmesan Frico to a muffin tin. Gently place a small drinking glass on top of the Parmesan Frico to mold it into the shape 1 of the muffin cups. Let cool until firm, about 5 minutes. Continue with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
