Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

3

Grease the skillet

Grease a medium-sized oven-safe skillet or baking dish with butter.

Bake in the oven

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pro tip: Rotate the skillet halfway through for even cooking.

6

Broil for a crispy finish
