Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Cheese: High-quality shredded cheese melts better and adds more flavor.
  • Switch Toppings: Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Parmesan for variety.
  • Add Heat: Include red pepper flakes, diced jalapeños, or a drizzle of sriracha for a spicy kick.
