Instructions

Notes

  • Feel free to mix in different cheeses.
  • Nutritional yeast can be substituted for the Parmesan for a vegan option.
  • For a plant-based option, substitute eggs with flax eggs.
  • Adjust garlic and onion powder to taste, especially if using fresh garlic.
  • Consider adding chopped green onions for extra freshness.
