How to Make Parmesan Baskets

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Grana padano offers a similar flavor at a lower price.

Start with a high-quality wedge of hard cheese like Parmesan Reggiano from Whole Foods Market.

Grate the cheese using the large holes of a box grater.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, take a handful of cheese and sprinkle it into an even 6-inch circle in the skillet.

Cook the cheese for about 5 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.

Using a spatula, gently flip the cheese over and let it cook for a couple more seconds.

Transfer the cheese using a rubber spatula over an inverted drinking glass, allowing it to drape over the sides.

Let this sit for about a minute until the cheese hardens into a basket shape.
