Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 12 slices of salami
- 1 package of Boursin cheese
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature will help the salami cups crisp up nicely during baking.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil. This will prevent the salami from sticking.
- Take the 12 slices of salami and gently press each slice into the muffin tin cups, forming a cup shape. Ensure that the salami covers the bottom and sides of each cup, creating a sturdy vessel for the cheese.
- Once all the salami slices are in place, place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the salami is crispy and slightly browned.
- While the salami is baking, take the Boursin cheese out of the refrigerator to soften. This will make it easier to spoon into the salami cups once they are ready.
- After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the salami cups to cool for a few minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
- Once cooled enough to handle, carefully lift the salami cups out of the muffin tin and place them on a serving platter.
- Using a small spoon or knife, fill each salami cup generously with the softened Boursin cheese, making sure to fill them to the top for a delightful bite.
- For an added touch of freshness and flavor, garnish each cup with fresh herbs of your choice. Chives, parsley, or dill work beautifully.
- Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack. Enjoy the combination of savory salami and creamy cheese!
Tips
- Choose high-quality salami with good fat content - this helps create those perfectly crispy cups
- Use a standard muffin tin to ensure uniform shape and size
- Let the salami cool slightly after baking to help them maintain their crisp cup shape
- If the salami is too greasy, place the baked cups on a paper towel to absorb excess oil
- For extra flavor, experiment with different herb garnishes like thyme, basil, or microgreens
- Ensure your Boursin is at room temperature for easy spreading
- These cups are best served immediately after filling to maintain the crisp texture
- For a variation, try different flavors of Boursin or experiment with alternative soft cheeses
