Ways to Adapt This Recipe

You can substitute the shredded cheddar cheese for mozzarella. You can also substitute the frozen peas for finely cut broccoli florets or chopped, frozen asparagus.

What to Serve with This Dish

For something fresh and light, add a fresh garden salad, Caesar salad, or a cucumber tomato salad. You can also serve it with garlic bread or breadsticks. You could skip the salad and serve with steamed broccoli or green beans, roasted asparagus, brussels sprouts, carrots, or sautéed zucchini and squash.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, you can transfer them to an airtight container or cover the casserole dish tightly with foil or a lid. You can use individual portions if you would like to take them for lunch the next day. Store in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
