Recipe Notes

*this is a natural soy sauce alternative. Could use regular soy sauce
I topped mine with homemade croutons(which is any gluten free bread of choice torn into pieces and mixed with olive oil, salt, pepper and any spices you like. Then toasted in a low heat oven 250 degrees till crispy)
Then slices of melted Swiss cheese
