- Adjust the age of the Cheddar cheese to your personal preference - want it sharper? Try it with 5 Year Aged Cheddar! Looking for something a little milder? Use our Medium Aged Cheddar - aged about 6-9 months.
- If you have a little extra time, top with some buttered panko breadcrumbs and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until the mixture bubbles for a delicious added crunch!
