Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños, crushed red pepper, or pepper jack cheese.

Add vegetables: Broccoli, spinach, or sautéed bell peppers would be delicious mixed in.

Switch up the cheese: Try a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack.

Top with green onions: A sprinkle of fresh green onions adds color and flavor.
