For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the cheese mixture. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Assemble the dip, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere or pepper jack, for a unique twist. Serve with an assortment of dippers, such as baguette slices, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
