For an even richer flavor, try using a combination of white and yellow Cheddar cheeses. Feel free to add other toppings like toasted breadcrumbs or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat. This dish is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
