We're aiming for bubbly, cheesy perfection! 8. Cover your baking dish with aluminum foil and pop it in the oven for 25 minutes. 9. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is a beautiful golden brown and bubbling away. 10. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before diving in. Feel free to garnish with fresh basil for that extra touch!
