Recipe Type: parmesan baskets, cheese, cream, appetizer
Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 20 min
Yield: 20 baskets approx
Ingredients:
8 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano or Asiago cheese, coarsely grated
(use this type of cheese, it has less oil)
6 ounces plain goat-cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
2-1/2 teaspoons parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instruction:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For each basket, put 1 tablespoon coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Asiago on a parchment lined baking sheet or Silicone mat, shape into 2-inch
rounds approximately 2-inches apart. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes
or until bubbly and edges are starting to turn a golden color.
Working quickly remove cheese rounds with a spatula and drape them over an upside down miniature muffin
cup or empty egg cartons to form petite parmesan baskets. If
they becomes too stiff and brittle to shape put the baking sheet back in a hot oven for 1 minute and shape
again. Can be made ahead, covered at room temperature.
Mix goat cheese, heavy cream, fresh thyme, parsley, salt and pepper together until
smooth. Can be made 2 days ahead, covered and
refrigerated, bring to room temperature before filling.
Fill each parmesan basket using a spoon or piping bag with a star tip.
Garnish with
minced thyme or snipped chives and serve.
