Where to find ingredients
Find the ingredients in the baking aisle, dairy section, and refrigerated cheeses at local supermarkets or neighborhood grocers. If needed, parmesan can be substituted with a similar hard, aged cheese, but the original cheese is ideal.

- Using your fingertips, work the mixture until you have a smooth, crumbly dough
- In a blender, blend the whole eggs, the grated or diced cheese, the tablespoon of butter, and the milk
- Line the bottom and sides of individual mini pie tins with the prepared dough
