FAQ:
Can I use store-bought garlic bread for this recipe?

Is this recipe customizable for a family with picky eaters?
Absolutely! Feel free to adjust the seasonings and toppings based on your family's preferences. You can skip the onions or garlic if they're not a hit, or use a milder cheese if the stronger flavors of Parmesan and mozzarella are too much.
