Tips for Best Results
- Greek yogurt: Thick yogurt works best—drain excess liquid if needed.
- Extra crunch: Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
- Air fryer option: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer.
