Notes

For meal prep: Cool completely, then refrigerate in airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in microwave 30-60 seconds (from fridge) or 1-2 minutes (from frozen). For best texture, do not overbake. Customize with vegetables, different cheeses, or meat alternatives as desired.
