Made this for brunch today. I used a mix of Asiago, Fontina, Parmesan, & Provolone (in addition to the cheddar) because it was all I had. Super delicious. I might reduce the amount of butter next time. But that’s a me thing.

I enjoyed this recipe. It puffed up beautifully and was very tasty. I added some sautéed finely chopped onions and green peppers (approx. 1 tbsp of each), and when cooked, I topped it off with a bit of Franks RedHot sauce! I’ll definitely make this again!
