For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of melted butter.
Ensure your Parmesan cheese is finely grated; this helps it incorporate seamlessly into the batter.
Be gentle when folding in the egg whites to maintain a light and airy texture.
If you don't have rice flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour, but the texture will be slightly different.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

    I was a bit skeptical about the cheese, but it turned out amazing! The texture was perfect, and it wasn't overly sweet.
