Recipe Tip
If you don’t have any leftover veggies, chop any veggies or greens that you have in the crisper and cook with 2 tbsp oil in a medium frying pan set over medium heat for 10 -15 mins or until tender or add frozen veggies instead.
Shredded mozzarella, Cheddar, Swiss, fontina, Gruyere and/or provolone all work nicely in this recipe.
