    This was a hit with the family. Plus, it was so incredibly quick and easy to make. Perfect for a night when you just can’t spend a ton of time on dinner.

    Hi, Julia , your video says bake for 35 minutes at 425 degrees, but the recipe instructions say 25 minutes. Which is correct?

    1. Alexis says:

      For me, it was 30 minutes, and then back in the oven to make the cheese on top melt, about 10 minutes.
