For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. Ensure the onions are properly caramelized to bring out their natural sweetness, which complements the cheeses beautifully. If the top starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent the dish loosely with foil. Fresh thyme or chives make an excellent garnish.
