Tips for the Best Results

- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Easy Variations
- Add sliced tomatoes or avocados for a fresh twist.
- Spice it up by adding jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture.
- Swap out herbs for your favorites—thyme or oregano can add a delicious depth.
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat or rye.
What to Serve With It
- A classic tomato soup for dipping.
