Notes

Feel free to substitute the feta with grated Parmesan or cheddar for a different flavor. If you need a dairy-free alternative, use plant-based cheeses. This bake stores well in the fridge for 3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months. Always let it cool completely before storage to prevent sogginess. Enjoy garnished with fresh herbs or alongside a simple salad for a complete meal!
