Notes

This recipe can be made vegan by substituting the butter with a plant-based spread and using vegan cheese. You can prep the bread a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the fridge until baking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best results. Mixing different types of cheese can elevate the flavor profile. Avoid using only mild cheeses for a richer taste.
