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.
