Notes
Nutrition disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.
Use room-temperature cream cheese: It spreads more easily and melts evenly in the oven.
Meal prep tip: Leftovers reheat well and make great high-protein bowls, wraps, or salads.
