3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1-1 1/2 cups shredded Asiago cheese
3-4 slices bacon - cooked and crumbed (can leave slightly under-done, it will finish cooking under broiler)

How to make it :


Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a small shallow bowl, mix egg and water

Prepare a baking pan by covering with foil and placing wire rack on top
