  4. Once the salmon is cooked, gently flake it into bite-sized pieces and fold it into the mixture.
Baking
  1. Pour the mixture into the same baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs on top for a crunchy finish.
  2. Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  3. Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Cool leftovers completely before storing in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 20 minutes until heated through.
