Categories     Cheese

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

vegetable oil cooking spray
1 1/3 cups parmesan cheese, coarsely grated
1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

Steps:

  • Spray an 8-inch non-stick saute pan with vegetable oil spray.
  • Heat the pan over medium heat.
  • For each Parmesan bowl, sprinkle 1/3 coarsely grated Parmesan to the bottom of the saute pan, distributing the cheese evenly across the pan.
  • Allow the cheese to bubble for about 30 seconds before adding an additional 1/4 cup of finely grated Parmesan.
  • When the cheese starts to turn golden brown, remove from the pan and place over any (flipped upside down) bowl you would normally use.
  • Now, I like to place a paper towel (or two) over the grated Parmesan to soak up any oil, while I gently press/mold the grated cheese to the bowl.
  • Allow a few moments for your Parmesan bowls to cool before removing.
  • Divide salad among the cooled Parmesan bowls, serve and Enjoy! :).
  • For a dramatic effect, tilt the bowl on the plate, allowing the greens to cascade out of the bowl onto the plate or try using different shaped molds for your Parmesan bowls.
