Preheat oven to 350 F/175 C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese in piles on the baking sheet, no more than 4 per sheet.

2

Bake for approximately 5 to 10 minutes 5 Minutes, watching closely, until melted and bubbling. Once cheese is golden remove pan from oven, allow to sit for only a minute until the ‘disc’ is cool enough to handle.

3

Gently lift the Parmesan disc up with a spatula and place over the bottom of the bowl. Gently mold shape with hands. Be careful, cheese will be hot. Cool completely before removing. Handle with care, it will be fragile.

Prepare salad ingredients, and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and mix well. Gently place into Parmesan baskets on plates, and enjoy your work of art!
