Phenomenal post, buddy, thanks a ton for the knowledge.

I'm with ya on the pepper jack, I think some of that is a great addition. If the company permits it, I'll shake things up with some smoked gouda and throw some smoked paprika in the bread crumb topping which I'll then throw under the broiler to get that nice finish on top. Gonna try the shredded cheese topping next time tho, love a good crusty cheese layer.
