This is so fun to bake and eat. My baby enjoyed it so much, and it also helps a lot if your baby is teething as well as make them try a different texture. For me what can I say I love everything with cheese in it, so I enjoyed it very much 😀

NB: you have to let it cool completely so it becomes hard enough to cut with a knife.
