For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs like thyme or rosemary. For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular butter. If you don't have fresh garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder can be substituted.
