Notes
For a creamier texture, stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Use fresh vegetables if preferred, but cook them first to remove excess moisture.
Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or Parmesan for varied flavor.
Feel free to add dried herbs such as thyme, basil, or oregano for extra flavor.
