Tips

  • Always use pepper jack cheese for immaculate flavor.
  • If you prefer a creamier, cheesier texture, this version is for you.
  • Make one version with eggs and one without eggs; the only difference is how it sits.
  • Layer with mac and cheese, paprika, salt, pepper, and cheese until your pan is filled.
  • Bake on 350 for about 30 minutes, then broil.
