For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze after broiling. If you prefer a milder cheese, try using Gorgonzola dolce instead of a sharp blue cheese. For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
