Description
These Frico Cups with Herbed Goat Cheese Mousse are the perfect appetizer for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces, weight Goat Cheese, Softened
- ¼ cups Heavy Cream
- 1 pinch Dried Thyme
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Italian Parsley, Chopped Finely
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 8 ounces, weight Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grated
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 F.
In a bowl, add your goat cheese, heavy cream, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper. Whip the ingredients together until smooth. Place goat cheese mousse in a zip-top bag and put it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of the grated cheese onto a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Flatten out the scoops, making sure they’re at least ½” apart. Bake for 6 minutes until cheese melts and starts to crisp. Remove from oven.
Let cheese cool for about 1 minute. While it’s still malleable, scoop up the crisp and gently form each into a mini muffin tin to make a little cup. I find an offset spatula works best. Let them cool completely. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese.
Squeeze the goat cheese into the bottom of the zip-top bag. Twist the bag and snip off the corner. Pipe about a teaspoon of the goat cheese mousse into each Frico cup and serve.
