For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the overall taste. Feel free to experiment with different dried fruits like cranberries or chopped apricots. Toasted slivered almonds or chopped pistachios make a delicious crunchy topping. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a bright and zesty finish.
