Finally, it’s time to add the ingredient that can take any dish to the next level – cheese.

You can choose whichever type of cheese you’d like for the recipe. Grated to perfection, it’s generously scattered over the mixture.

As it melts, the cheese weaves its magic, binding everything together, resulting in a creamy texture and an added layer of indulgence.
