💡 Tips for Best Flavor

- Swap chicken for turkey (great for leftovers)
- Make it spicy with a pinch of chili flakes
❓ Q & A
Q: Can I use another cheese instead of Brie?
Yes, but Brie gives that creamy richness—Camembert is the closest substitute.
Q: Can I make it ahead?
Prep toppings ahead, but assemble and bake fresh for best texture.
Q: Is it too sweet?
No—if balanced right, it’s more tangy and savory than sweet.
