Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- I use a 9x13-inch ceramic baking dish because it heats evenly and looks great on the table.
- Be sure to spray the pan well so nothing sticks, and cleanup is a breeze.
- Slice the butter evenly to get a perfect golden topping from corner to corner.
- Add extra nuts or even a sprinkle of oats for more crunch.
