Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spray the surface lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Measure out 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese for each basket and spread it into a thin, even circle (around 4-5 inches in diameter) on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there’s enough space between each circle to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake the Parmesan rounds in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and bubbly.
While the cheese is baking, prepare an inverted muffin tin or small bowls to shape the baskets. Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry.
Once the Parmesan rounds are done, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10-20 seconds until they are cool enough to handle but still pliable.
Using a spatula, gently lift each Parmesan round and drape it over an inverted muffin cup or small bowl to form a basket shape. Let it sit and cool completely to harden into place.
Carefully remove the fully cooled baskets from the molds, and they’re ready to be filled or served as desired!
Use the baskets to hold salads, appetizers, or other creative fillings to suit your occasion. Enjoy!
