How to Make Crispy Asiago Cheese Bowls for Serving Soup and Salad

These Asiago cheese bowls are an elegant and playful way to serve salads, risotto, pasta, or any dish you want to present with flair. They look impressive but are surprisingly simple to make and can be prepared ahead of time so you’re ready when guests arrive.

I love using these bowls for Blueberry and Shrimp Risotto—the crisp, savory bowl is what takes that dish from tasty to show-stopping. Whether you’re cooking to impress or just treating yourself, the Asiago bowl adds an unforgettable finishing touch.

Equipment

  • 12-inch pan
  • 9-inch nonstick pan
  • 12-ounce disposable plastic container (as a mold)

Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 6 cups grated Asiago cheese

Instructions

  • Fill a 12-inch pan (or larger) with ice to create an ice bath for cooling the cooked cheese.
  • Sprinkle about 1 ½ cups grated Asiago evenly into a 9-inch nonstick pan set over medium heat. Cook until the cheese melts, becomes bubbly, and the edges turn crisp and golden.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and immediately set it into the larger pan of ice for a few seconds to stop the cooking and firm the cheese slightly.
  • After cooling for about 20 seconds, slide a spatula under the cheese and lift it. Drape the warm cheese over an inverted 12-ounce disposable plastic cup. With clean hands, gently mold the cheese around the cup to form a bowl shape. Repeat with the remaining cheese, using a fresh cup for each bowl.
  • Place the cheese bowls (still on the inverted cups) in the freezer until set, about 20 minutes.
  • To release, gently bend the plastic cup as needed to loosen and remove it from the cheese bowl without cracking the edges.
