Hello friends, I wanted to share a yummy and easy appetizer. These are bite sized appetizers. I made them last night. Since Paul and I love caesar salad, plus my husband loves bread, these are now a go to easy to make appetizer.
My husband told me they were the best. He could eat them everyday.
The bread cups could be baked ahead of time. You can freeze them too.
A perfect bite for parties. You can also use jumbo muffin pan and make individual salad cups for each guest. In the past, I have always made a traditional caesar salad dressing. This new dressing in my favorite. Lots of flavor.
Yield: 12 cups
Chicken Caesar Salad in Bread Cups
Caesar Salad Dressing
- 2 small garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Cheese
- salt - pepper
- Once Upon a Chef is where I found this yummy Caesar Salad dressing
Instructions:
How to cook Chicken Caesar Salad in Bread Cups
- Add ingredients in medium bowl, whisk garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Add the mayonnaise and then add the Parmigiano Cheese and salt and pepper. Set aside to mix with salad greens.
Crispy Bread Cups
- Preheat oven to 350°. Use a regular muffin pan, spray with Pam.
- Melt 1 stick butter, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning plus 2 cloves garlic, minced.
- I used white bread, feel free to use your favorite.
- Flatted each slice of bread with rolling pin and remove crust. You should end up with a 3 inch square.
- Brush both sides of bread slices with the butter, garlic mixture. Press each slice into a 12 cup muffin tin. The bread should be covering the bottom and coming up the sides. Bake for 20-30 minutes until crispy. Set aside to cool.
Salad
- 4 cups chopped Romaine
- 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
- Mix dressing with salad greens and then fill each cup. Enjoy!
Enjoy!
