Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. For added flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary on top before serving. You can also add cooked bacon, caramelized onions, or sautéed mushrooms for a heartier version.
