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.

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:

  • Choose good quality bread: A good bread will make all the difference in your parmesan basket. Look for a crusty, artisanal bread that is slightly chewy on the inside.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your parmesan basket a delicious flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the basket: When you are assembling your parmesan basket, don't overcrowd it. The bread should be able to fit comfortably in the basket without being squished.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the parmesan basket until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

Parmesan baskets are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in just a few minutes. Parmesan baskets are also a great way to use up leftover bread. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give parmesan baskets a try.
