For a richer flavor, use Gruyere or Fontina cheese instead of Cheddar. Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. To prevent the bread from burning, reduce the heat to medium-low if necessary. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a small glass or the rim of a cookie cutter to cut out the bread circles.
