Notes
Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.Use a crusty bread like French or Italian for best texture.Broiling is optional but adds a nice golden finish.You can prepare the bread ahead of time and refrigerate before baking.To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or use an air fryer.Try adding red pepper flakes or herbs for extra flavor.
