Notes

Serve this dish warm, straight from the skillet. It pairs well with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh fruits like figs or pears for a lovely contrast of flavors. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keep in mind that the texture may change after being stored, and you can reheat it gently in a skillet or microwave before serving again.
