1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Notes
For best results, use freshly grated cheese—it melts smoother and has more flavor than pre-shredded versions.
Add chopped cooked bacon or ham to make this a more filling one-dish meal.
To freeze: assemble but don’t bake; wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
