Parmesan Roof Tiles Recipes

Steps:

• Place a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan on the bottom of the pan. When the cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown remove melted cheese from pan. Place cheese disc on rolling pin and press down. Let cool 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat an empty medium nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Sprinkle a scant 3 tablespoons of the cheese into the skillet, making an oval about 4 by 2-inches. Cook until the cheese melts and is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove with a spatula, and drape over a wooden rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining cheese. The tuiles will crisp as they cool. Serve as a garnish for salads and sandwiches.

Steps:

• To prepare your "eatable 'roof' tiles", place the stale bread slices without crust in the food processor so they are like "breadcrumbs".
• Mix your crumbs with the parmesan cheese.
• Grease a baking sheet with the butter and with a teaspoon, place over it little piles of the mixture you've just done (crumbs and parmesan).
• Then, lightly press them until you form "circles".
• Put them in the oven for 5 minutes at 350ºF.
• Afterwards, take them out and quickly place the over a bottle or the rolling pin to form your parmesan "roof tiles".
• Let them cool and serve as you wish.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan, along with half the garlic, and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and toss to coat the tomatoes.
• To the sheet pan, add the mushroom caps in between the tomatoes, gill side up, and drizzle each generously with olive oil. (Don't skimp here, as the olive oil will add lots of rich flavor.) Scatter the mushrooms with the remaining garlic, and season each mushroom with salt and black pepper. Fill each mushroom with marinara sauce, and top with cheese. Place in the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly and golden.
• Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the bread crumbs, basil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a bowl or jar.
• To serve, transfer mushrooms to serving plates, along with a few of the roasted cherry tomatoes. Top each mushroom with the basil bread crumbs and scatter with a few basil leaves.
