To Make the Cheese Cups
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely shred cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese into 5-inch circles on the baking sheet, spacing the circles at least 2 inches apart.
Bake until the edges of the cheese just start to brown, about 5 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese cool for 2 minutes before transferring each circle onto an inverted muffin pan to shape. Let cool completely on the muffin pan until the cheese has hardened.
Note: Do not let the cheese cool completely on the baking sheet before trying to shape it or it won’t be pliable enough to bend!
