Ingredients

For the Parmesan Frico Cups:

1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Citrus Vinaigrette:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon orange juice

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon orange zest

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Spinach Salad:

6 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 6 cups)

1 orange, cut into supremes (segments)

1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced and rinsed (must rinse please or else it its too overpowering)

Special equipment: parchment paper, a muffin tin, and a small drinking glass

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

For the Parmesan Frico Cups:

Place parchment paper (or silpat mat) on a baking sheet. Place 4 (1/4-cup) mounds of parmesan on the paper/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 very quickly, use a thin spatula to transfer the Parmesan Frico to a muffin tin. Gently place a small drinking glass on top of the Frico to mold it into the shape 1 of the muffin cups. Continue with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Let cool until firm, about 5 minutes.

For the Citrus Vinaigrette:

Combine all the ingredients in a jar or a tight-sealing plastic container. Shake to blend.

For the Spinach Salad:

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss to combine. Divide the salad among the Parmesan Frico Cups and serve immediately.

Terrific Luisa!Is it really tricky getting the baked cheese into the muffin cups in one piece??
Love the presentation and vinaigrette sounds very refreshing. I could also use romaine or butter lettuce instead of spinach, right? Am printing this off now, 'cause I really don't trust this website...getting more and more difficult to get on and around. Thanks!

Wow this sounds wonderful and I will be making this up. I have never thought about Parmesan being used this way. Really terrific.

Love that dressing!! I have made the Parmesan crisps before but never thought about shaping them.. Very cool idea. Can I assume you would have to make them in small batches?

This is just scrumptious, I love that you put the Parmesan crisps in muffin cups. I had a salad almost like this with a Parmesan crisp standing in the salad at Ruth's Chris, but I'm sure it is not as good as yous!!!
