💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Swap the vegan cheese for a blend of nutritional yeast and cashew cream for a dairy‑free, extra‑nutty flavor boost.
- Add a spoonful of roasted red‑pepper puree or a dash of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mix for a smoky twist.
- Use pearl barley or farro instead of quinoa as a side for a chewy texture that holds up well in meal‑prep containers.
