Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- A pizza cutter makes it easy to divide the dough evenly.
- You can prep the filling ahead and store it in the fridge.
- Try cheddar or gruyere instead of Swiss for a twist.
- Add chopped parsley or a sprinkle of cheese on top before baking for a little extra color or flavor.
