Beet Hummus Frico Cups
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup loosely packed finely grated Parmesan cheese*
- 1⁄2 cup prepared beet hummus**
- 1⁄3 cup loosely packed rainbow microgreens
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly into 8 circles (each approximately 3 inches across) onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until cheese melts and is very lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Working quickly and using a thin-blade metal spatula, lift melted cheese circles from baking sheet and drape each over the back of a well of a mini muffin pan. Let cheese cool completely before carefully and gently removing and inverting frico cups. Store in a single layer in an airtight container and use the same day.
- Just before serving, using a levered 2-teaspoon scoop, portion hummus into each frico cup.
- Garnish with microgreens. Serve immediately.
Notes
*Make sure you use a block of Parmesan cheese and freshly grate it with a Microplane fine grater.
