What are Parmesan baskets?

Before we get to the fillings, let’s quickly go over how to make Parmesan baskets. These savory delights are made by melting and shaping grated Parmesan cheese into small cups. The cheese gets baked until crispy and holds its shape, creating an edible container for your fillings.

Classic Caprese Filling

If you’re a fan of the classic Caprese salad, you’ll love filling your Parmesan baskets with this refreshing combination. Start by layering cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and basil leaves in the basket, creating a mini-caprese salad. Drizzle some balsamic glaze on top for an extra burst of flavor.

Smoked Salmon and Dill Cream Cheese

For a more sophisticated taste, try filling your Parmesan baskets with a combination of smoked salmon and dill cream cheese. Spread a layer of dill cream cheese on the base of the basket and top it with a few slices of smoked salmon. Garnish with fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Bruschetta-inspired Filling

If you’re a fan of bruschetta, this filling will be a hit. Dice fresh tomatoes and mix them with minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Add a spoonful of the bruschetta mixture into each Parmesan basket and finish it off with a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan on top. It’s a burst of Italian flavors in every bite!

Chicken Caesar Filling

For a heartier option, consider filling your Parmesan baskets with a chicken Caesar salad. Chop cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and toss it with fresh romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese. Fill each basket with the mixture and garnish with more shaved Parmesan. It’s a salad you can eat with your hands!
