Notes
- For optimal storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- When reheating, a quick 1-2 minutes in the microwave works well, but for a crispy top, pop it under the broiler for a minute or two.
- Serve this casserole with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal that balances flavors and textures beautifully.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding fresh herbs like basil or oregano to the mixture before baking, or experiment with different toppings like bell peppers or mushrooms to customize your dish!
