For an extra layer of flavor, try using a combination of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese. A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth to the dish. For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk. Feel free to add a cup of cubed cooked ham, crispy bacon, or sautéed vegetables for a heartier meal. Ensure the cheese is freshly shredded as pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose that can affect the melting process.
