I use the Italian blend cheese when I make this dish, but you can use just parmesan cheese if you prefer. I like the Italian blend because it is a little more mild than just parmesan. I also like to add veggies to it at the end. My favorite is broccoli florets. I’ve also added fresh spinach at the end and it tastes amazing!
