Remarks

For the grated cheese, it's up to you, but I'd recommend a hard cheese: Comté, Cheddar, Parmesan...

The proportions are only indicative, so don't hesitate to adapt them to your taste and the quantities you have on hand.

A few days in the fridge, protected by cling film or in a closed container.
