Parmesan cheese bowl

1 bag shredded (not grated) parmesan cheese

Heat non-stick skillet, medium high. Sprinkle cheese in disk shape, light around the edges (looks lacey). When slightly golden underneeath, take it off the heat and let it cool slightly. Carefully remove with spatula and fingers, then drape over a bowl, goleden side up. Press to form bowl. This can sit several hours and tastes great with lettuces and vinaigrette dressings.
