At this point add any seasoning you would like. Top with the remaining parmesan cheese and even out the layer. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the top is bubbling, golden and has a browned edges. Allow this to cool before cutting as it firms up once it cools down. Cut into pieces and serve on its own or with your favourite dip.
