  4. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden edges. Listen for a bubbling sound indicating it’s ready.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional shredded cheese or chopped herbs.
