Notes

  • You can use additional veggies as well, such as mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and spinach. Just keep in mind that these ingredients contain additional water and need to be sautéed prior to adding to the rest of the ingredients and baking.
  • Penzeys is a spice company, and Penzeys Justice is a tasty blend of shallots, garlic, onion, green peppercorns, chives, and green onion. If you don't have it, you can use this substitution: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and an additional 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
