Edible Cheese Bowls
I’ve loved salads ever since childhood. My parents made sure to serve us salads 🥗 as a side a few times a week – maybe that’s why I enjoy them so much! I was surprised when my cousins or other kids didn’t like salads. I couldn’t understand why they didn’t like the freshness and colorful ingredients.
One of my aunts 👩🦱 had a few picky eaters and to remedy that problem, she started making Edible Cheese Bowls to make salads more interesting. This is where I got the recipe from… well not the exact recipe as I had to put my own little touch on it, of course!
The difference between my Edible Cheese Bowls and the ones from my aunts is I like to add a few extra ingredients depending on my mood. One day, I can make them “garlicky” and another time, I give them an Italian flair. The flavors for my bowls also depends on the type of salad I’ll be serving… that makes sense, right? I also like to change the kind of cheese 🧀; it can be either sharp Cheddar, Gruyère or Monterey Jack…
In the video, I only make one bowl because I’m using a large tortilla bowl maker but if you use a regular cereal bowl with a flat bottom (no ridges), then you could make 2 or more bowls with this recipe depending on the cheese density you want your bowls to have. Also, I mention “shredded not grated” because the cheese has to be coarse in order to make these bowls. To shred cheese, use the big holes on your cheese grater. The cooking time I prefer is around 8 minutes ⏰ but if you want your cheese bowls darker, leave them for a minute or two longer.
Here’s some food trivia…
Did you know that edible tableware has been around since the 16th century? That’s right! It was considered a sign of wealth… hmmm, interesting 🤔!
I like making Edible Cheese Bowls! They’re fun plus I’m in love 😍 with cheese! Another reason why you should make them is, if you’re entertaining a large group of guests, you might run out of bowls. Now with this recipe, you’ll never be short of “bowls”… but come to think of it, you might be short of cheese, lol!

- Remove from the heat and using a spatula, transfer each circle over an inverted soup bowl.
