Step 3

Once the mixture is not that hot to handle, mix everything with your hand. It will look crumbly.

Step 4

Add in 3 eggs and immediately mix everything together. Then add in parmesan. Mix to incorporate everything and then knead until nothing sticks to your hand. It's going to take a few minutes but don't worry.
