Here is how you make Caesar Salad Parmesan Cups:

Preheat the oven to 300. Lightly mist a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.Working in batches (I did 3-4 per baking sheet, so 3 batches) make 10 piles of 2 tablespoons of Parmesan each onto the parchment paper, leaving several inches in between. If there is extra Parmesan set it aside. With the back of a spoon, flatten each pile until evenly spread into a thin circle. Bake each tray on the middle rack in the oven for 3 - 3 ? minutes until cheese is bubbly but not yet golden/crisp. Remove from oven and immediately life each cheese round off the sheet with a metal spatula and transfer it into a cup in the prepared muffin tin. Use your fingers to push the cheese into the cup to shape it. When all 10 piles have been transferred to the muffin tin, place the tin into the oven and back the cups for an additional 5 minutes or until the cups are golden and crispy. Allow the cups to cool for a minute and then remove them from the tin to cool.While the cups are baking, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, pepper and garlic in a bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. In a large bowl, combine the dressing and lettuce together and toss to coat.When the Parmesan cups have cooled, fill each one with about ? cup of the dressed salad and sprinkle any remaining grated Parmesan over the tops of the cups. Serve immediately.You can store the Parmesan cups in a Ziploc or airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. Only dress the portion of salad you plan to use and store any leftover dressing, lettuce and Parmesan cups separately. Assemble as needed.Serving Size: 10 CUPSNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LOVEYDUB.
