- Fold in the grated cassava, parmesan cheese, and the pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter to ensure a lighter texture.
- Pour the prepared batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Observations
