Notes

Serve warm as a side dish for your Easter dinner. You can garnish with fresh herbs for added presentation. For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon bits or crispy onions before baking. Make sure not to overcook the vegetables when sautéing; they should still have some crunch. For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese. For variety, mix in other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or spinach.
