Low Carb Parmesan Basket

These low carb Parmesan baskets are so simple to make.  It's basically a bowl made out of cheese!  Fill with a salad or even a chilli.  Eat the contents, then eat the bowl!  A great low carb and gluten free dish.  You can make mini bowls or medium sized ones.  Mini bowls could make a pretty and delicious appetiser.   Fried cheese.  It just keeps on giving!

This is for cheese fans and is a great low carb/gluten free way to serve a salad! Using Parmesan that is cooked in a pan.  You could add herbs and spices to the cheese mixture too.  Make it your own and have a play around with the flavours. I had this for lunch today and in the bowl put cherry tomatoes, baby mozzarellas, olives, salad leaves and a handful of basil leaves.  As well as looking bright and colourful it was tasty and delicious.

You don't have to make a bowl with this, you could cook the Parmesan and then leave it to cool in another shape.  Break off pieces to put over salad or soup.  Or just nibble on it as a snack. Cheesy goodness!

HOW TO MAKE A LOW CARB PARMESAN BASKET

• Heat a frying pan on a low to medium heat.
• Scatter about ½ cup of Parmesan all over the frying pan and covering it in a thin layer.

• Cook for 2-3 mins on one side, then flip over to cook the other side.

• Remove from pan and place on a bowl.  Press around the bowl and leave to cool.  (I used a small soup bowl).   You could use a smaller bowl.  Or fashion it into another shape.  Rather like a glass blower!

• Remove the Parmesan cheese basket and fill with filling of your choice.

• Eat and enjoy!
