Notes

  • Use freshly grated mozzarella for the best melt. Pre-shredded won’t melt as smoothly.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan before baking.
  • If you prefer crispier slices, turn the oven to broil for the last 1–2 minutes, but watch closely!
  • Add red pepper flakes for a little heat.
