For a richer flavor, try using a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. If you don't have plastic wrap, a microwave-safe lid will work, but the steaming effect might be slightly different. To avoid splattering, ensure the plastic wrap is not directly touching the food.
