Just this morning I was watching "Tipical Mary Ellen" on TV, and she was showing how to make cheese fritters! Great minds run in similar channels, they say...

She took a small handful of shredded Parmesan, moistened it w/ just a tiny bit of water to get it to hang together, shaped it into a little patty about 2" in diameter, then fried it to golden brown on both sides in about a tablespoon of olive oil. She garnished w/ a bit of fresh basil leaf. Sounds good!
