What a great idea!!! These are fun, whimsical, and cute ;) I filled mine with finely chopped arugula, chopped tomato, chopped radishes, crumbled bacon and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Yummy!!!

Simple recipe. I did mine in an 8 inch non stick pan. Only recommendation I can give is don't make them so thick. I think I did mine too thick. Although it worked, formed into basket shape, they weren't crispy by the time dinner came along. I think that was because they were too thick. If I'm wrong let me know. Going to try again but next time not so thick.

perfect!! Almost no carbs and all the crunch and any fresh grated cheese works--just watch the oven carefully! I have made these for many years but this recipe is well perfect. Thanks and do enjoy this fuss free nest of perfection.

I was terribly diappointed in the outcome. I ended up just doing flat circles after several failed attempts at baskets. The taste was wonderful but the recipe yields no where near 24 baskets. I followed the recipe exactly as written and was only able to make 16-18; not good when you're planning a baby shower.

so easy, but such a show stopper - I filled with a spinach strawberry salad with red onion, one crouton, rapspberry vinagrette and topped it with candied almond chunks! Delish!

Fixes for when I messed up: I didn't have parchment, so I just used the cookie sheet. Turned out OK. Oily, but OK. When I tried to move them from the pan to the molds (I was using an upside-down mini muffin pan), I realized I'd waited too long and they were no longer pliable. So, I just tossed the muffin pan in the oven with the flatish cheese on top. The melted right over after about a minute. I really liked the shape.

I love these! I've often made them as crisps for salad garnishes, but never thought of forming them into a basket. I used them to hold Parmesan Spinach Balls as an appetizer at a dinner party last night and the presentation received rave reviews! 2" makes a SMALL bowl, FYI; the only thing I could drape them over was shot glasses! I will make larger circles time. THANKS for a great recipe, Terry!

Another great way to serve parmesan. Try grating on top red and green peppercorns - not too fine, not too coarse - just before baking the parmesan. The flavors blend very well and they look like freckles. I make mine tiny - 1 inch - when I want to serve them flat for scooping vegetable dips like eggplant caviar. Raw sesame seeds sprinkled before baking blend very well too. Don't use toasted sesame - it will burn and will affect the taste. Thanks for posting the basket version. I had never thought of it.

Yum, I love these Terry! I too just made rounds to add to my spinach, quinoa and cucumber salad which I'm enjoying right now. I'm going to have to think of something clever to place in the bowls as they do sound just adorable. Thanks so much!
