That's a nostalgia food for me too.

Mom would do a checkerboard of alternating white jack and yellow cheddar on top. Oh, and sprinkle a bit of some cornmeal on top of the cheese to add crunch.

EDIT: I need to make some.

Interesting, never seen cornmeal before, though I think I'd prefer panko or crushed potato chips. Not only are they more flavorful imo, they turn a nice golden brown. Of course then that would cover up all that hard work your mom put in checkerboarding the cheese, so I get it from a presentation standpoint. I've also used crispy fried onions (i.e. French's) as the topper, that was really good too.

Interestingly, my SO specifically asked for NO panko or any sort of breading on top.

I go with garlic Ritz crackers and butter. It matches the lemon, garlic and dill I add to the recipe. Divine.

Fuck yeah, that sounds awesome
