  • Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and tops are golden.

How to Serve: Serve with celery sticks and ranch dipping sauce for a complete experience.
Storage & Freshness: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
