Parmesan Cheese Bowl

Steps to Make It

Gather the cheese and 3 small heat proof bowls. Preheat the oven to 400F.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Divide the parmesan cheese into 2 piles on the parchment paper, then spread each pile into a flat circle.

Bake for 8 minutes or until the cheese is lightly golden brown and completely melted.

Remove one of the cheese rounds from the parchment paper with a spatula and quickly drape over one of the bowls. Top with the other bowl to create a bowl shape. Remove from the form and allow to cool until crisp.

Repeat with the other round.

Serve the parmesan bowl filled with your favorite salads, pastas, or chili.

Microwave Version:

Cut a square or round of parchment paper, lay out a 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese into a flat circle on the parchment paper. Microwave on high for one minute or until the cheese is melted. Carefully remove the cheese from the parchment paper with a spatula and place over the bowl as directed above.

Skillet Version:

Heat a medium-sized skillet on medium heat. Add the cheese into an even layer and cook until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Carefully remove with a spatula and place over the bowl as directed above.
