PARMESAN BASKET
I got this great idea from a magazine my friend got. She told me the basics, I went home and gave it a try. It worked out beautifully. I can only imagine how beautiful the presentation would be using these as salad shells. They have a lacy, delicate look to them.

Steps:
- Heat a 10" skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle cheese (I just used what seemed to look right, didn't really measure) into a disk shape in pan, using less cheese around the edges (helps produce the lacy look).
- Allow cheese to get slightly golden underneath, then carefully remove it using a spatula.
- Quickly drape cheese disk, golden side up, over an upside-down glass and form into a bowl.
- Allow to cool completely.
- This produces one basket.
- Repeat instructions until you have the number of baskets needed.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the weight of the cheese and toppings. A good option is a hearty Italian bread or a French baguette.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your parmesan basket will taste. Use fresh, grated Parmesan cheese and your favorite toppings.
- Don't overload the basket: The basket should be filled, but not overstuffed. Otherwise, the bread will be too soggy and the cheese will not melt evenly.
- Bake the basket until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on the basket so that the cheese does not burn.
- Let the basket cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
Conclusion:
Parmesan baskets are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover bread. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a parmesan basket that will impress your friends and family.
