🧀✨ 4-Ingredient Crispy Cheese Cups — Crunchy, Cheesy & So Easy!

 


🛒 What You’ll Need

🧀 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

🧀 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

🥚 1 large egg

🌿 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning


👩‍🍳 How to Make Them

1️⃣ Get the oven ready

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2️⃣ Mix the cheese

In a bowl, combine the cheddar, Parmesan, egg, and Italian seasoning.

Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

3️⃣ Make the cups

Scoop small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them.

Flatten each mound slightly.

4️⃣ Bake until golden

Bake for 8–12 minutes, watching closely, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

5️⃣ Shape while warm

Let them cool for about 30–60 seconds.

While they're still warm and flexible, gently drape each cheese round over the bottom of a small muffin pan or an upside-down mini muffin tin to form a cup.

Let them cool completely until crisp. ✨


🍅 Fill Them With Your Favorites

These little cups are delicious on their own, but they're also perfect for filling!

🍅 Diced tomatoes and salsa

🥑 Guacamole

🥓 Bacon and ranch

🍗 Buffalo chicken

🥬 Chicken Caesar salad

Just remember to add moist fillings shortly before serving so the cups stay nice and crispy.

💡 A Little Tip

Watch them closely during the last few minutes of baking.

Cheese can go from beautifully golden to too dark surprisingly quickly!

For the crispiest cups, let them cool completely before filling.

No forks needed. No complicated pastry dough. Just crispy cheese and your favorite filling.
