# Notes:
01 -
For a milder flavor, substitute green onions for red onions. Add diced ham or crispy bacon for extra protein and flavor. Replace cheddar with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a milder cheese option. Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier twist, and add fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a fresh burst of flavor.
