Notes

  1. I used fiesta blend cheese because that's what I had on hand. Any good melty cheese, such as cheddar, Colby jack, Monterey jack, pepper jack, quesadilla, etc., will work in this recipe.
  2. Substitute cooked, crumbled, and drained breakfast sausage or diced ham for a delicious variation. You can also add sautéd onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, or baby spinach.
  3. Leftovers can be reheated in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Also, once cooled, they can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months.
