Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cooked and chopped chicken or shrimp (optional)
- 1 cup mixed greens
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- Cherry tomatoes (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place small mounds of grated Parmesan on the sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each mound into a thin circle.
- Bake for about 5–7 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
- Let the discs cool for 30–60 seconds, then shape each warm crisp over an inverted bowl to form cups.
- Once cooled, fill each cup with mixed greens, add chicken or shrimp if desired, and drizzle with Caesar dressing.
- Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and serve immediately.
Notes
Use finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for best flavor. Store unfilled crisps at room temperature for up to 2 days.
