Could I use parmesean cheese instead of fontina? Not the green can stuff….the real deal.
Where is the cheese used? What is the serving size on this? With that much cheese and oil, I’m not sure how it’s kept top an E? Help me understand, please, cause this sounds Yummilicious!
As lo g as you make at least 6 or 7 servings out of it I beljeve it would stay in E mode. And only lightly garnish with cheese
