For an extra layer of flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. To do this, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. The broiling time can vary depending on your oven, so keep a close watch to prevent burning. The goal is to get a nicely browned, bubbly top. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with a mixture of milk and heavy cream. For example, use 1 cup of milk and 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream.
