Ingredients

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low-carb)

- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Tips & Variations
- Extra Crispy: Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top before baking.
- Add-ins: Diced bell pepper, cooked bacon bits, or shredded cheddar work well.

đź’ˇ Serving idea: Pair with a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or a spicy aioli for extra flavor.
