Salad in a cheese basket
Ingredients
Step-by-step preparation
STEP 1
How to make a cheese basket for salad? Prepare the necessary ingredients - there are only three of them.
STEP 2
Grate the cheese on a fine or medium grater.
STEP 3
Add flour to cheese.
STEP 4
And mix thoroughly so that all the cheese is coated with flour on all sides.
STEP 5
Grease a frying pan with a thick bottom and non-stick coating with vegetable oil. It is better to do this with a stone so that there is not too much oil and it is distributed evenly. Pour a thin layer of cheese mixture into the center of the frying pan and form a circle with a diameter of 10-12 cm, trying to ensure that the circle is completely covered with cheese without empty areas. Fry the cheese pieces over medium heat until golden brown, then turn over and fry until golden brown.
STEP 6
Place the hot cheese pancake on the bottom of an inverted glass and press lightly with your hands to form a basket. This must be done quickly, as the cheese cools quickly and the basket becomes brittle. It is better to form the basket using oven mitts, as the pieces are hot and you can get seriously burned. Leave the baskets to cool, and in the meantime you can bake the following cheese pieces.
STEP 7
Remove the cooled baskets from the glass.
STEP 8
Prepare the ingredients for the filling. You can fill the baskets with a variety of salads, but we will focus on seafood salad.
STEP 9
Boil the shrimp in salted water for about 3 minutes, cool and peel. If the shrimp are large, like mine, cut them into pieces.
STEP 10
Boil the squid in salted water for 1-2 minutes (no more, otherwise the squid will become rubbery, hard and tasteless), then cool, peel off the films and cut into small cubes.
STEP 11
You can use lightly salted or smoked red fish. I baked a small trout steak in foil in the oven for 30 minutes. Cut the fish into small pieces, removing the bones.
STEP 12
Boil the eggs hard, cool, peel and cut into small cubes.
STEP 13
Also cut the tomatoes into small cubes.
STEP 14
In a salad bowl, combine squid, shrimp, red fish, eggs, tomato and croutons. You can omit the crackers at all or replace the wheat ones with rye ones. You can buy store-bought croutons or make them yourself from the bread you have in the house. I had croutons with cheese flavor. If you are not going to serve the appetizer to the table right away, then it’s better not to add croutons to the salad - they will get soggy.
STEP 15
Season the salad with mayonnaise. There is no need to add additional salt to the salad, because the baskets and mayonnaise already contain the right amount of salt.
STEP 16
Mix everything well.
STEP 17
Fill the cheese baskets with the prepared mixture and serve. Bon appetit!
