PRESENTATION

Parmesan wafers are original baskets that can be easily prepared in just a few minutes! You can fill them in many ways to bring a delicious and different appetizer to the table. The Parmesan wafer should obviously be eaten together with the other ingredients... or last!
You can also use these wafers to serve risotto or a salad, certainly adding a touch of extra flavor. We show you the recipe to prepare Parmesan wafers at home with 3 cooking alternatives: in the oven, microwave, or pan! All you have to do is choose the one that suits you. Besides the filling, you can also get creative with the shape, for example, with the same technique you can make smaller wafers without placing them on a bowl, so they will remain flat and will be perfect as a decoration!

In the meantime, turn a small bowl upside down on a surface 4. When the cheese is completely melted and starts to change color 5, flip the wafer onto the bowl, being careful not to burn yourself 6.

Place a cloth over the bowl and gently press so the cheese takes the shape of the bowl 7. Remove the parchment paper 8 and let it cool completely 8. Then flip the wafer 9 and proceed the same way to make the others.
