For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Gruyere or Fontina would be excellent additions! Freshly grated nutmeg adds a subtle warmth that complements the cheeses beautifully. Consider adding a pinch towards the end of the cooking process.

Jan 16, 2025A very forgiving recipe. I didn't have Gouda, so I used mozzarella, and it still turned out great.
