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.

Time P1DT15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup inexpensive shredded parmesan cheese (more or less, depending on how many baskets you want to make)
1 drinking glass

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:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a silicone mold, you can use a regular muffin tin lined with parchment paper.
  • Be careful not to overfill the molds, as the cheese will expand as it bakes.
  • Bake the cheese baskets until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Let the cheese baskets cool for a few minutes before filling them.

Conclusion:

Parmesan cheese baskets are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be filled with a variety of different ingredients. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a truly unique and impressive dish that is sure to wow your guests.
