Notes
Chef's Secret: For an irresistible crust, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the garlic butter before baking. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheating: Wrap in foil and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to warm through and crisp up, avoiding the microwave to prevent sogginess.
