Suggestions for parmesan

mrsf123

Hello

I have some leftover parmesan which is due to go out of date soon and hoping for suggestions on how to use up! I have a couple of eggs and flour etc so was thinking cheese straws or something? Does anyone have any recipes?

Thanks!

Parmesan doesn't really go out of date - I generally have a lump in the fridge and as long as it's not obviously mouldy it's fine. Let's face it, it's pretty old once it gets to you lol, I don't think it'll kill you if you leave it a couple of weeks longer!

Failing that you could make some parmesan wafers - they're dead easy and all you need is cheese, flour and pepper Or these just need the cheese

I finely grate any leftover cheese with left over bits of bread in the processor then put them in a bag in the freezer, then I have a quick topping for pasta bakes, baked gratins that type of thing to use straight from the freezer.

beat me to it You'll know when it's had it. Alternatively grate it all and freeze in a tub -use straight from frozen.

Is this the sort of thing?

Can second the frozen idea, really works well...

grate it finely, and put in little bundles on a piece of that non stick baking parchment, place into a very hot oven for about 6 minutes - then you will have delicious golden parmesan crisps - a fab garnish for salads, pate, soup, etc, my Head Chef used to make these in the hotel I managed - absolutely delicious!
