Notes
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle additional shredded dairy‑free cheddar on top before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in a toaster oven for a crisp finish. This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten‑free, but you can add regular cheese if not dairy‑free.
