Notes

For a delightful twist, consider adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano. If you're feeling adventurous, include a slice of tomato for added freshness.
Store leftovers tightly wrapped in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or freeze portions for longer storage. Reheat in a skillet for the best results.
Always shred your own cheese for smoother melting; it makes a noticeable difference!
