Notes

Use organic ingredients if preferred - this recipe works either way. 
Optional - cayenne pepper for extra heat!
This recipe includes a dairy-free mozzarella-style cheese and used sparingly for that creamy, melty goodness without the dairy. If you’re watching your fat intake, feel free to use less or skip it altogether! It still tastes great either way!
