For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce. A sprinkle of paprika on top before baking adds a lovely color and subtle smoky flavor. Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations! Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or even a touch of Parmesan can add complexity.
