For the vinaigrette, in a small pot over medium heat, heat the balsamic vinegar with the brown sugar for 15 minutes until a thick consistency is achieved. Once cool, mix in a bowl with the garlic, lemon juice, basil, and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
For the baskets, in a hot non-stick skillet, spray with oil, add the parmesan cheese in a circular shape, and cook until it starts to form a crust; then lift the parmesan circle with a spatula and place it over a container shaped like a basket. Let it cool and set aside.
On the basket, place the spinach leaves, mozzarella cheese spheres, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and garnish with basil leaves.
