For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a sharp white cheddar. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, you can tent the dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Cover the assembled pie tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
