Turn cheese over.
Cook until second side is golden, about 3 minutes.
Place cheese round on top of towel covered custard cup.
Top with two folded paper towels and press down on cheese to form cup shape, about 30 seconds.
Remove paper towels.
Turn cheese baskets right side up to cool.
Repeat with remaining butter and cheese, using clean towels for each basket.
