Parmesan Frico Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan mixture onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended for this recipe. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture, spacing the spoonfuls about 1/2-inch apart. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool and use a flat spatula to transfer from lined baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Using largest holes on a 4-sided grater, coarsely shred enough cheese to measure 1 cup.
• Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner. Stir together cheese, flour, and pepper. Arrange tablespoons of cheese 4 inches apart on liner, stirring cheese in bowl between tablespoons to keep flour evenly distributed. Flatten each mound slightly with a metal spatula to form a 3-inch round.
• Bake frico in middle of oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on sheet on a rack, then carefully transfer each crisp (they are very delicate) with metal spatula to rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• To make one of these cheese bowls, find two small bowls that fit snugly inside each other. Line a large plate with a circle of parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of finely grated parmesan in a circle on the parchment, making the circle slightly larger than the size of the bowls. Microwave until melted, about 2 minutes. Quickly pick up the parchment and drape it, cheese-side up, over an upside-down bowl; immediately top with the other bowl and let cool 2 minutes. Remove the top bowl, invert the frico bowl and carefully remove the parchment. Let harden 30 minutes, then fill with salad.

Steps:

• Stir together parmesan and flour with a fork. Heat an 8- to 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat until hot. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons parmesan mixture into a 2 1/2-inch free-form round in skillet and cook until cheese is set, about 10 seconds. Loosen edge of frico with plastic spatula, then turn over and cook 5 seconds more. Immediately transfer frico to a muffin cup, lightly pressing it in, and remove from cup once crisp, about 30 seconds. Make more frico cups in same manner.
• Stir together goat cheese, cream, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper and transfer to pastry bag (if using). Tuck a mesclun leaf inside each cup, then pipe (or spoon) in herbed goat cheese to fill two thirds of each cup.

Steps:

• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan on skillet to form a 4-inch round. Cook until Parmesan is somewhat melted and starting to firm, about 3 minutes. Using a thin spatula, flip; cook until firm but not browned, 20 to 30 seconds more. Transfer to a small bowl (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter), and press into bowl to shape. Let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining Parmesan to make 4 frico bowls.
