Notes

  • Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Mix in chopped jalapeños or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.
  • Use plant-based cheese or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
  • Top with extra cheese or seeds before baking for a crunchy crust.
  • Replace cheddar with feta or mozzarella for different tastes.
