For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. Freshly grated cheese is highly recommended for the best texture and flavor. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to achieve your desired consistency. For a tangier flavor, substitute some of the mayonnaise with sour cream. Serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
