Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

11/2C Fresh Grated Paremesan Cheese
1/2 tsp Pepper
2C White kidney beans
2T Basil pesto
2tsp Lemon Juice
2tsp Olive Oil
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Glass shot glasses/votives (for serving)

Steps:

Cut two 31/2" diameter circles from heavy paper. Shape into cones and tape securely. On a piece of Parchment paper, trace two 31/2" diameter circles and turn over. Spread grated paremesan (about 1T) over each circle. Bake at 350F for about 5 mins until melted and golden. Let stand for 1min. Roll cheese discs around the cones and let stand until cool. Wipe parchment paper and repeat for next parmesan rounds. In a food processor, process remaining 4 ingredients until smooth. Spoon into a large freezer bag and snip off one corner. Pipe bean mixture into each cone and top each with a basil leaf. (Makes about 16)
