Ingredients

• Cheddar cheese: optional for extra tang and color sharp cheddar adds another depth layer

Storage Tips

Wrap any leftovers tightly in foil and pop them in the fridge for up to three days When ready to reheat use a dry skillet or an air fryer for best results to get them crispy again The microwave works in a pinch but the wrap will be softer
