Variations & Tips

For a bit of a kick, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix. You can also experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a different flavor profile. If you're looking to make it a bit heartier, toss in some cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
