Edible Salad Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss cheese with pepper. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese mixture into pan to form a 6-in. circle; cook, uncovered, until bubbly and edges are golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; let stand 15 seconds., Using a spatula, carefully remove cheese and immediately drape over an inverted 4-oz. ramekin; press cheese gently to form a bowl. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining cheese, making eight bowls., In a large bowl, combine romaine, tomatoes and croutons. Just before serving, drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Serve in Parmesan bowls.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Brush both sides of tortilla with oil.
• Invert ramekin on a work surface; center tortilla on the bottom of the ramekin. Gently shape the tortilla down around the sides. Place a double layer of aluminum foil over the tortilla and press to form the bowl around the ramekin. Place right side up on a baking sheet and leave about 1/2 inch of the edge of the tortilla above the foil so it gets browned and crispy when you bake it. Repeat with the second tortilla.
• Place baking sheet in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and use tongs to carefully remove the ramekins from inside the shells. Transfer sheet back to the oven. Bake shells until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven.
• Carefully remove foil from around the shells; reserve the foil. Flatten foil sheets and invert shells on them. Bring foil up just around the bottom of the shells to protect the top edge.
• Transfer sheet back to the oven. Bake until browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and invert the shells once again so they are right side up. Place on foil and transfer sheet back to oven for the final crisping, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don't burn.
• Remove sheet from oven; transfer basket burritos to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Pour oil into deep fryer to depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°.
• Lay 1 egg roll wrapper flat on surface of oil and press with ladle until completely submerged. Without removing ladle, fry wrapper until golden brown and crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove from oil, slip ladle out and invert "bowl" onto paper towel to drain. Let cool completely.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F - use middle rack.
• Grate enough cheese to use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of cheese per bowl - depending on the size you wish to make.
• Cut individual sheets of parchment paper according to desired number of bowls.
• Make an appropriate size circle on each sheet of parchment paper.
• Bake for 5 - 10 minutes depending on size of desired bowl. Watch carefully after the 6 - 7 minute mark - you only want the bowls to bubble, melt and turn slightly golden colored.
• Remove from oven - and carefully using the parchment paper turn the melted cheese over the bottom of the bowl- it conforms as it melts.
