- 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions:

- Mix in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs until evenly coated in flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
