Ingredients
2cupsof grated fresh Parmesan cheese.not the canned stuff!!
Good quality parchment paper
*2 nesting bowlsor see my comments below
2microwave safe dinner sized plates
Instructions
Invert one bowl onto a dinner sized plate, set aside.
Cut your parchment paper to cover your microwave safe plate. In the center of the plate, on the parchment paper, place about 1/2 cup of cheese and spread into a circle with your fingers. It should be about 1/2″ bigger than your bowl you are mimicking. You don’t need to be exact, and there can be small holes. Those give a more “lattice” effect when they are done.
Place in the microwave and cook for 2 minutes. The cheese will bubble and start to brown.
Take it out of the microwave, and carefully (IT’S HOT!) flip it upside down, with the parchment, onto the bowl inverted on to the plate. Cover with other bowl to form the cheese bowls.
Take off of the bowl while they are warm. They cool quickly, make sure to cool them before stacking them.
I used the same piece of parchment for all 4 bowls, and never had a problem.
