Edible Parmesan Salad Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss cheese with pepper. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese mixture into pan to form a 6-in. circle; cook, uncovered, until bubbly and edges are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; let stand 15 seconds., Using a spatula, carefully remove cheese and immediately drape over an inverted 4-oz. ramekin; press cheese gently to form a bowl. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining cheese, making eight bowls., In a large bowl, combine romaine, tomatoes and croutons. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Serve in Parmesan bowls.

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Mix together the Parmesan and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add to the skillet in a very thin layer and cook until it is light brown, melted and bubbly, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow to sit and cool slightly, 20 to 30 seconds. Loosen the cheese circle by running a rubber spatula around the edge of the skillet. Carefully transfer the cheese to the inside of a small bowl (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 quarts), using the spatula to help push and form the cheese to the shape of the bowl.
• Allow it to cool for several minutes before removing to allow the shape to set. (You can leave it inside the bowl until serving.)
• Place the Parmesan bowl on a plate and fill with the greens. Drizzle the salad with the dressing. Top with the red onion, radish, blackberries and feta.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F - use middle rack.
• Grate enough cheese to use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of cheese per bowl - depending on the size you wish to make.
• Cut individual sheets of parchment paper according to desired number of bowls.
• Make an appropriate size circle on each sheet of parchment paper.
• Bake for 5 - 10 minutes depending on size of desired bowl. Watch carefully after the 6 - 7 minute mark - you only want the bowls to bubble, melt and turn slightly golden colored.
• Remove from oven - and carefully using the parchment paper turn the melted cheese over the bottom of the bowl- it conforms as it melts.
• Serve your favorite salad in these delicious edible bowls.
• Pictured is my pear and apple salad - a delicious combination.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack on the middle shelf.
• Place parchment paper to cover broiler pan.
• Lightly spray with vegetable cooking spray.
• Place 4 ounces of the grated parmesan in the center of the pan.
• Flatten the Parmesan out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
• Sprinkle with dried red sweet pepper.
• Broil 3 minutes.
• Remove from oven and slip paper onto a cooking rack.
• Prepare pan with a second sheet of parchment paper.
• Prepare remaining parmesan and cook as before.
• Meanwhile, remove parmesan from the first paper and drape over an inverted cereal bowl and let cool ten minutes or more.
• Repeat this process for the second batch.
• Makes two very pretty bowls.

Steps:

• Pour oil into deep fryer to depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°.
• Lay 1 egg roll wrapper flat on surface of oil and press with ladle until completely submerged. Without removing ladle, fry wrapper until golden brown and crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove from oil, slip ladle out and invert "bowl" onto paper towel to drain. Let cool completely.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers.

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.
