- 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grate the Parmesan cheese. Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a clean, dry bowl. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- 2In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until well combined. If using, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.
- 3Gradually mix the grated Parmesan cheese into the creamed butter. Then, mix in the beaten egg yolks. Slowly add the milk, mixing until well combined. If using, gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
