Notes

  • For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños to the cheese mixture.
  • Feel free to swap out the cheeses for your favorites, but stick with varieties that melt well.
  • If the final dish is too thick for your liking, simply add a splash of milk while stirring to reach your desired consistency.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, add a little milk to restore its creamy texture.
