For a richer flavor, use Gruyere or a blend of cheeses in addition to the Cheddar. To add a touch of smokiness, consider using smoked ham or adding a dash of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb topping. Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can be sprinkled over the finished casserole for added freshness and visual appeal.
