1/2 cup(s) Imported Romano Cheese, grated
6 Egg yolks, fresh jumbo eggs

Simmer until thickened, cool to room temperature.

BALSAMIC GLAZE #2

Mix together ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly and becomes syrupy, whisking often, about 15 minutes.

Pick your glaze or make a combination of both. We skipped this altogether when we made it the first time. We also used our own alfredo sauce.
