This recipe was the perfect one to make when I’m looking for quick carbs. I love cheddar cheese, but another great addition to this dish is adding mozzarella and goat cheese!
I make this like everyday lol smh but it’s soooooo good and easy!
Best recipe ever! I made it in a cast iron skillet, then sprinkled extra cheese on top, and broiled it (in oven on top rack on broil setting) for about 7 mins. Also, this recipe can be made with any cheese.
