For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce. Feel free to substitute other cheeses like Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a blend of your favorites. This bake can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a green salad for a complete meal.
