Preheat oven to 425° F
If you're not using a non-stick muffin pan, spray the cups with non-stick spray. It's not necessary to spray the cups with non-stick spray if using a non-stick pan. (Note 3)
Place 3 frozen Golden Crispy Crowns in each cup of the muffin pan. Bake for 10 minutes. (See Note 1)
Remove the muffin pan from the oven and use a greased shot glass or similar item to press the Golden Crispy Crowns to form a Crispy Crown Cup.
Return to oven for 15 additional minutes. Remove from oven. Add about a tablespoon of shredded cheese to each Crispy Crown Cup.
Bake at 425° F for 5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted. Remove from oven; allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from muffin pan. Transfer to paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
Pipe ½ to ¾ teaspoon of sour cream onto melted cheese. (See Note 4)
Sprinkle on crumbled bacon; garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired. Yield: 12 Loaded Crispy Crown Cups.
