Notes
Use good quality cheese: It's worth using a good brand, as the cheddar is the dominant flavor in this recipe.
Season to taste: Some people like to be heavy-handed with the red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper for an extra-spicy result, while others prefer to make it milder. So, just make it your way.
Shred your own cheese: This is recommended because pre-shredded cheese has added starch to stop the shreds sticking and isn't quite as tasty.
