🍽️ Instructions

1. Prep the vegetables

    • Shredded cheese

    • Onion powder

    • Salt

    • Pepper

    • Italian seasoning or dill

  2. Mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Pour and assemble

  1. Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the vegetables (as shown in the picture).

  2. Sprinkle the top with extra cheese.

4. Bake

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

5. Serve

Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm as a main dish or side dish.
