Notes

To add more flavor, consider mixing in vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach. If you like it cheesy, try using a variety of cheeses or a cheese blend on top before baking. Adjust the seasoning to your liking, especially if you love a bit of spice. For a meatier version, you can mix in cooked ground beef, sausage, or diced chicken.
