- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A good combination is cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- If you don't have any evaporated milk, you can use regular milk instead. Just add an extra 1/4 cup of milk to the recipe.
