1
You will need a small skillet and about 1 1/2 cups of shredded Parmesan cheese.
-
2
You will also need a bowl or footed ice cream dish for your mold.
-
3
Heat the skillet on medium heat.
-
4
Sprinkle a circle of cheese into the skillet approximately double the size of the bowl that you wish to make.
-
5
Make sure that the cheese is not to thick or too thin.
-
6
Heat until the cheese bubbles then remove from the heat to cool for just a couple of minutes.
-
7
Once the cheese has cooled use a spatula to gently lift the cheese and drape it across the bowl that you are using for a mold.
-
8
Use your hands to gently shape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
-
9
The cheese is fragile but also malleable.
-
10
Let the bowls cool.
-
11
If you leave the cheese to bubble a bit longer it will start to pop like popcorn.
-
12
Now I do not mean it will pop out of the pan (a couple of strays will) but more like each shred of cheese will pop and expand.
-
13
Let 90% of the cheese do this before you remove it from the heat.
-
14
Your bowl will have more color, crunch and nutty flavor if you leave it on the heat a bit longer.
-
15
But be careful not to burn your cheese.
