How To Make Parmesan Cheese Bowls:

Here are your step by step instructions to make these delicious edible salad bowls.

Start by preheating your non-stick pan over medium heat.

Once the pan is hot, sprinkle the cheese into the pan and form the cheese in an even circle. Make sure you don’t make the cheese too thick or too thin. The cheese should just cover the bottom of the pan.

How To Make Parmesan Cheese Bowls

To make the correct size add enough cheese to make a circle that is 2 inches larger in diameter than your preferred size bowl. The extra 2 inches will account for the sides of the bowl.

For mini bowls make a 3-4 inch diameter circle.

For larger bowls make a 6 inch diameter circle.

Cook until the cheese is melted and golden. This will take about 1 minute but go off of color.

Once the cheese is lightly golden use a spatula to carefully peel the cheese up and flip to the other side.

Flipping the parmesan cheese

Cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Carefully remove the cheese to an inverted bowl and place another bowl on top to help mold.

Use the correct bowl size depending on if you want to make minis or larger size Parmesan bowls.

Let cool completely and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet until you are ready to serve.
