Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Spoon 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan cheese onto the baking sheet and spread it into a 3-inch circle. Repeat, spacing the circles at least 2 inches apart for 6 rounds per sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they do not burn.

Step 4

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese rounds cool for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just enough to set but still soft.

Step 5

Carefully lift each cheese round with a spatula and gently press it into the well of an inverted muffin tin or a small bowl to form a cup shape. Let them cool completely and harden, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, diced cherry tomatoes, chopped Kalamata olives, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Once the frico cups are cooled and crisp, fill each cup with 1-2 tablespoons of the Greek cheese filling mixture.

Step 8

Arrange the filled frico cups on a serving platter and garnish with extra dill or a small slice of cherry tomato if desired. Serve immediately.
