Notes

  • Cheese swaps: Swiss, Gruyère, or mozzarella work beautifully if you don’t have cheddar.

  • Extra flavor: Add thin tomato slices, spinach, or caramelized onions inside before baking.

  • Make ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.

  • Reheating: Warm leftovers at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to keep them flaky.
