Notes

You can customize the toppings based on what you have on hand—consider adding roasted garlic, caramelized onions, or a sprinkle of Parmesan for extra depth.
This is perfect for holiday gatherings, brunch, or as an appetizer to accompany a charcuterie board.
For an extra creamy twist, you can whip the butter before spreading it for an airy, smooth texture.
