Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra veggies. Swap cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist. Serving Suggestions:
Serve with fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a complete meal. Allergy-Friendly Options:
Use dairy-free cheese and milk alternatives to make it dairy-free. Storage Tips:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
