  • 2 Scallions, sliced thinly (green tops included for garnish)

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (adjust to spice preference)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Kewpie mayo

  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Red pepper flakes (for garnish)
  • Butter for melting (unsalted)
  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)
  • Furikake for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to broil.
