I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'd love to find a way to make this bake even healthier. Maybe I could use whole wheat bread crumbs or a low-fat cheese.

I'm wondering if this bake could be made in a slow cooker. I think it would be a great way to have a hot and delicious meal ready when I get home from work.

I'm always looking for ways to sneak more vegetables into my meals, so I might try adding some chopped kale or Swiss chard to this bake next time.

This recipe is a great starting point, but there's definitely room for creativity. I'm thinking about adding some sautéed mushrooms or chopped artichoke hearts next time.

Overall, this is a good recipe but it could use a few tweaks to suit my personal preferences. I'll definitely be experimenting with different ingredients and techniques next time.

The breadcrumb topping on my bake didn't get as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might try using panko breadcrumbs next time.

I found that the bake was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less Parmesan cheese next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bake didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. It was still tasty, but I was hoping for a more luxurious texture.
