What is this?

The ring. What do you suspect it to be made of and the technique to make it? It looks like a tuille, but I'm not too sure.

Some sort of tuile is a good guess. It could also be bread that has been sliced, rolled out, wrapped around a ring mold and baked. But that is a long shot.

I agree.

Looks like a tuile.

Since it's garnishing a protein most likely made with cheese.

Cookers,

 

For the technique, pick a tuile batter with the flavor you want. Spread batter onto a silpat. If you are looking for fancy designs , all you have to do is make a template. Place the template on a silpat . thinly spread your batter over it .  Bake until golden, remove from oven, while still warm , bend them into desired shapes. These are easy to make but fragile.

It is indeed a tuille of some sort. The only trouble I'm having is getting the batter on the tray the perfect thickness. If it's too thick, it comes out more white and thick and looks weird. However if it's really thin, it comes out brown and crisp just like the picture.

 

I'm going to try the bread technique when my yeast comes in later this week.

You can make a stencil...some sort of plastic lid works well. If you have those plastic fish tubs you can cut a stencil out of one of those.

I have lots of those and that's a good idea! I also have cake squares
