Notes

  • For added depth of flavor, you can brush melted butter over the warm pretzels just before serving
  • Customize the filling by adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spiciness
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can use part-skim mozzarella or a combination of mozzarella and cream cheese for the filling
  • Enjoy the pretzels while they are still warm for the best taste and texture
