  • 1/4 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
  • Italian seasoning to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  2. Incorporate the chopped vegetables and optional pepperoni. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper according to your preferences.
  3. Stir the mixture thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
  4. Transfer everything to a baking dish, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the mixture.
