Do you bake it the night before, refrigerate it then bake it again to warm it up?

Hi Lynn! No, I mix all the ingredients up and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Then, in the morning, I bake it. However, you can make it ahead and then heat it up if you need to. Sometimes I find it a little soggy reheated in the microwave, but will eat it that way if necessary.

This was soooo good! I added some mini sweet peppers and mushrooms that I needed to use up and that’s what so nice about a recipe like this, you can add or subtract whatever ingredients you choose to make it your own!

Do the leftovers microwave well? I assume they would, but thought I’d ask, just in case.
