For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can tent the casserole with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
This casserole is also excellent made ahead of time. Simply assemble it, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite cheeses or add-ins. Some great options include cheddar cheese, ham, sausage, or sautéed vegetables.
