Helpful Hints
- A large roasting pan with high sides works best.
- The parmesan cheese is a higher phosphorus ingredient. 1/2 cup contributes 10 mg phosphorus per serving. Use less or omit if desired.
- For a smaller batch, reduce cereal to one or two boxes depending on how much you want to make. Adjust other ingredients as well.
