Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Don’t skip seasoning each component; it builds layers of flavor. If the mixture looks dry before baking, add more broth. For a richer taste, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Always reheat thoroughly for food safety.
