Chef's Note

It's best to bake only half the crisps at a time, because they may harden while you're working.

Ingredients
For 16 crisps

Parmesan Crips
- 1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- (from a moist piece of cheese)

Goat cheese Mousse
- 6 ounces fresh goat cheese
- 4 to 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

- A clean egg carton
Method

Making the Parmesan crips

  1. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking sheet.
  2. Place a 2-1/2 inch ring mold in one corner of the baking sheet and fill it with 1 tablespoon of the grated cheese. Using your finger, spread the cheese into an even layer.
  3. Repeat to make 8 rounds, leaving at least 1 inch between them.
  4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crisps are a rich golden brown.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for about 30 seconds to firm the crisps enough so you can remove them with a spatula. One by one, remove the crisps and gently press each one into a hollow in the egg carton to form a tulip shape.
  6. After a few minutes, remove the cooled crisps from the carton and make 8 more crisps.

Making the Goat cheese Mousse

  1. Place the goat cheese in a food processor and process (depending on the cheese used, it may look smooth or crumbly).
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of the cream through the feed tube and continue to process until the mixture is smooth but will hold a shape when piped; if necessary, add a
  3. little more cream.
  4. Add the parsley and salt and pepper to taste and mix just to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  5. The mousse can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days; let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften slightly before piping.
  6. Place the mousse in a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Pipe 2 to 3 teaspoons of mousse into each Parmesan crisp and serve.
