  7. Sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded Italian blend cheese evenly over the mozzarella.

  10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
