Instructions

For Heirloom Tomato Salad

Toss tomatoes, roasted red bell pepper slices, capers and parsley leaves in a large bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
Fill the parmesan frico cups with about ¼ cup of the tomato mixture and garnish with more salt and pepper if desired and goat cheese crumbles. Serve at room temperature.

For the Frico Cups

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix the parmesan cheese and the lemon zest in a small bowl.
Place a Silpat mat on a rimmed baking sheet. Using at 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter, drop 1 slightly rounded tablespoon of the cheese mixture on the Silpat, tapping cheese lightly to form a circle. Place 6 total circles on the baking sheet with 2 inches between each row.
Bake the rounds for 8 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Working quickly and while frico is still hot, transfer the rounds with spatula or knife to a muffin tin and gently press into the tins. If the rounds become too cool and brittle, place back in the hot oven for a minute so the frico becomes pliable again, remove and quickly move to the tins.
Let the frico cool in the tins for 3-5 minutes and remove. Repeat process with the rest of the parmesan.
*If you have extra frico cups, break into chunks and add to your favorite dinner salad or pasta.
