Notes
For a spicy version, add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
Try alternative cheeses like feta or Monterey Jack for different flavors.
Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can be mixed into the butter for added freshness.
Cooking over charcoal adds a smoky depth to the flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes for best texture. Avoid microwaving.
