Instructions
1. Prep the Oven & Dish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish (8×8 or similar size) with oil or butter.
2. Cook the Vegetables (Optional but Better)
Heat a pan with a little oil and lightly sauté onions, peppers, and mushrooms for 3–4 minutes.
This step removes excess moisture and boosts flavor.

6. Cool & Slice
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes, then cut into squares.
