Servings: 8 crisps
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

For the crisps

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

For the mousse

  • 3 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 2-3 Tbs heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp dried chervil or parsley
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

For the crisps

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Place a 2 1/2 inch ring on the baking sheet and place 1 tablespoon of Parmesan inside. Use your fingers to spread the cheese evenly. Repeat to make eight cheese circles about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for 1 minute to firm, then transfer to a mini-muffin pan and press to form a bowl shape. Let cool completely, then transfer to a plate covered with a paper towel.

For the mousse

  • Place the goat cheese in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to break up the cheese.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of cream and process until smooth and creamy, about 15 seconds. If needed, add a bit more cream.
  • Add chervil, salt, and pepper, scrape down sides of the bowl, and pulse to combine.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe 1-2 tablespoons of mousse into each cup.
  • Serve immediately.
