Baking
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden.
Serving
- Let the lasagna rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
- Garnish with optional toppings such as ranch dressing, chopped green onions, or blue cheese crumbles.
