Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk. You can also substitute the cheese with feta or goat cheese for a tangy flavor. Feel free to add herbs like thyme or basil for extra aroma. Ensure your vegetables are well-drained to avoid excess moisture, which can affect the baking process.
