Notes
A healthy serving of laughing cow may vary depending on where you are i.e. US/UK/Canada so be sure to check the one you use and adjust accordingly.
I like a strong garlic flavour when I make this. If you are cooking the garlic enough. It should be a sweet garlicky flavour which is perfect. But if you don't like your garlic flavour too strong I recommended reducing the amount of garlic used.
