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.
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.
That’s a nostalgia food for me too.

EDIT: I need to make some.

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
