- For an extra cheesy topping, you can sprinkle additional Parmesan or mozzarella cheese with the breadcrumbs before baking.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.

- Add cooked vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to increase the nutritional value and flavor complexity.
