  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, cover the pan, and let the cheese melt.

  • Dairy-Free Option: Use plant-based cheese and dairy-free milk alternatives.
  • Extra Flavor: Add diced onions, bell peppers, or carrots for more depth and nutrition.
  • Spicy Version: Add chili flakes, cayenne, or hot sauce for a kick.
