Notes
Recipe Tips.
- This is an easy recipe to add vegetables to. We often mix in peas or broccoli florets.
- This recipe freezes super well, so we usually double the recipe so we have one to freeze for later.
- For added flavor and texture, sauté 2 tablespoons butter with ½ cup panko breadcrumbs and sprinkle it on top before baking.
Prep ahead of time. Assemble as instructed, except don’t top with the cheese or bake. Instead, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. To freeze, wrap it again with foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw if needed, and add the cheese before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container(s) in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
