Notes
- Freshly grated Parmesan creates the smoothest Alfredo sauce.
- Toasting the bread first keeps it crispy under the creamy topping.
- Rotisserie chicken can be substituted for an even quicker meal.
- Add cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or spinach for delicious variations.
- Broil carefully during the last minute to achieve a beautifully browned cheese topping.
