What can I use instead of Italian seasoning in Classic Stromboli?

Can I make Classic Stromboli dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (4 oz provolone cheese, sliced, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free dinner collection instead.

How do I store and reheat Classic Stromboli?
