PARMESAN CHEESE BOWLS

Parmesan cheese bowls are incredibly easy to make and add a creative touch to your table. They’re a great addition to your recipe collection, whether you follow a carnivore, keto, or any other diet; or if you don’t follow one at all. Parmesan is the top choice for this recipe, but any hard cheese will work well. Cheddar, Manchego, or Asiago make excellent alternatives. Avoid using soft cheeses, as they will simply melt and won't firm up properly, and we need our bowls to hold shape. Shaved or shredded cheese works well, but be sure to spread it into a circle and press it down slightly on a parchment paper before baking.
These bowls are perfect for serving your favorite salads, ground meat, eggs, and pretty much anything a bowl can hold. This recipe yields a smaller-sized bowl, but you can easily adjust the size by adding more cheese and using a smaller or larger bowl to shape the Parmesan to your desired size.
Enjoy! Your fork is waiting!

Equipment

  • 3 small glass bowls heat-proof

Ingredients

  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

MAKE IT IN THE OVEN

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the parmesan cheese into two portions on the parchment paper, spread it into a circle and press it down slightly.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and turned a lightly golden brown color.
  • Using a spatula, carefully lift one of the cheese rounds from the parchment paper and place it over one of the bowls. Place another bowl on top to shape the cheese into a bowl form. Remove the cheese from the mold and let it cool until crisp. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese round.
  • Store in a air-tight container for up to 5 days.

MAKE IT ON A SKILLET

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread the cheese in an even layer and cook until it melts and turns golden brown. Gently lift it with a spatula and place it over a bowl. Place another bowl on top to shape the cheese into a bowl form. Remove the cheese from the mold and let it cool until crisp. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese round.
