Notes

Blind Bake Tip: Always blind bake the crust for 8–10 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom.

Crust Options: For a low-carb version, skip the crust entirely or substitute with a hash brown or almond flour base.
Reheat Instructions: Reheat slices at 350°F for 15–20 minutes or microwave gently at 50% power.
Add-Ins: Try adding fresh herbs (thyme, parsley) or extra veggies like mushrooms and bell peppers for variety.
