Notes

To maintain freshness, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for quick snacks. For the best texture, ensure cream cheese is softened before mixing and drizzle cooking oil before baking for additional richness. You can also personalize the recipe by adding jalapeños for spice or using fresh crab for gourmet flavor.
