Tips
- You can omit the olive oil to reduce fat, though it may affect browning.
- To prevent cheese from sticking and burning, consider brushing the baking sheet with butter or using parchment paper.
Cheese may burn or stick to the baking sheet; ensure it is well-greased or lined.
The community finds the recipe easy and delicious, with one notable concern about excess oil and a question about cheese sticking.
