For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. If you can't find tasso ham, smoked sausage makes a good substitute. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and hot sauce to your preference. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added visual appeal and flavor.
