Flavor Variations
Try swapping cheddar for Swiss or pepper jack, or use flavored cream cheese like garlic or jalapeno for a spicy kick. Red onion adds crunch, and mustard brings extra tang.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled for maximum crunch or pair with crisp white wine, sparkling lemonade, or a cold lager. These work great on appetizer platters or lunchboxes.
