Notes

  • Add Italian dressing after baking for extra zing.
  • For extra crispiness, broil/grill the top for the last 1–2 minutes.
  • Add shredded lettuce after baking if you like a hot-and-cold texture.
  • Use spicy salami or drizzle with chilli oil for heat.
  • Swap the meats for turkey or roast beef to lighten it up.
