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.
