Notes

This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or steamed green beans. For added flair, serve with crusty bread for scooping up the cheesy goodness. Top with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for color and freshness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze in meal-sized portions for longer storage.
