Ingredient substitutions

Substitute olive oil with coconut oil. The benefit of this substitution is that coconut oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil, so it is better able to withstand the high temperatures of the oven. Additionally, coconut oil has a milder taste than olive oil, so it won't overpower the other flavors in the dish.
Substitute the cheddar cheese with feta cheese. The benefit of this substitution is that feta cheese has a stronger, saltier flavor than cheddar cheese, so it will add more depth of flavor to the dish. Additionally, feta cheese is lower in fat than cheddar cheese, so it is a healthier option.
