For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the custard mixture or use hot green chiles. Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations. Pepper jack would be a flavorful addition. To prevent the top from browning too quickly under the broiler, keep a close eye on it and move the casserole to a lower rack if needed.
