Cooking and Serving Tips
• Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of dried oregano, crushed red pepper, or a drizzle of honey mustard for extra flavor.
• Customize It: Swap out provolone for Swiss or pepper jack cheese for a different twist.
• Storage: If making ahead, wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a fresh taste.
