For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the onion-garlic sauté. Fresh basil can be used as a substitute for oregano, or even combined. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Provolone, fontina, or a blend of Italian cheeses would all work wonderfully. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh oregano.
