. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the top of the casserole.
. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, try adding some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. You can also mix in some cooked bacon bits or ham for extra flavor and protein. If you’re looking to make it a bit lighter, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk or use a lower-fat cheese. For a different flavor profile, swap out the cheddar for Gruyère or Monterey Jack cheese.
