For an even richer flavor, use a combination of sharp and extra-sharp cheddar cheese. If your pie crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or use a pie shield. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere, Swiss, or Monterey Jack. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, subtle spice that complements the cheddar beautifully. Serve warm or at room temperature. This pie is also delicious cold the next day.

Oct 7, 2024I accidentally used mild cheddar the first time, and it was still good, but sharp cheddar is definitely the way to go!
