Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, try using smoked ham or adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, cheddar, or even a blend would work beautifully.
If you don't have a 2-quart baking dish, a similar-sized casserole dish will do the trick.
