Ingredients

PARMESAN BASKETS

  • ¾ cup finely grated potatoes (approximately 3 small potatoes, squeeze dry with a clean towel remove as much moisture as possible)
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmigiano

VEGETABLE FILLING

  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½–¾ medium eggplant diced
  • ½ bell pepper diced
  • 4 large mushrooms diced
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1–2 dashes hot pepper flakes to taste (add more for hot and spicy)
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh parsley minced
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2–3 tablespoons shredded firm mozzarella or gruyere cheese (or your choice) divided

Instructions

  1. PARMESAN BASKETS: In a medium bowl, toss together the finely grated potatoes and Parmigiano. Cook in a non-stick pan to form circles. Place the circles in a muffin tin and let dry on a wire rack.
  2. VEGGIE FILLING: In a pan, cook the diced eggplant, pepper, mushrooms, oregano, salt, parsley, hot pepper flakes, and water until tender. Combine with shredded cheese. Fill the baskets with the veggie mixture and extra cheese if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can make the potato Parmesan baskets ahead of time and store them unfilled. If they soften, crisp them in the oven for a few minutes. Avoid storing them filled to prevent sogginess.
