COOK - Parmesan Decoration

So no matter what meal you cook, it never quite looks restaurant standard. Most restaurants rely on their presentation to make the meals look as appetising as they do. I'm going to share with you a simple way to make your home made meal just that little bit fancier!


To make these parmesan disks, you will need-
Parmesan Cheese
 A fine cheese grater
1 baking tray line with baking parchment 
A cookie cutter the size you want your disks to be
A Palette knife


Preheat the oven to 180˚c, gas mark 4

Start off by grating enough cheese to fill the number of disks that you want. Place the cutter on the lined tray, and fill the cutter with about 1cm of cheese ( don't forget, the cheese will melt and become a lot thinner!)

(Mine started off too thin, so I added more cheese to them and cooked them again)
Cook the disks in the preheated oven for about 5-10 minutes, checking on them occasionally to make sure they don't burn. As soon as all of the cheese has melted, they will be ready.
Remove them from the oven, and leave for a couple of minutes until the are crisp. Then, use the palette knife to lift them off the tray.


If you want, you can drape them over the bottom of a shot glass, and gently press down the edges to create a basket. Then, you can serve vegetables or fresh coriander inside of them. Make sure to do this before they have crisped up.
