Notes
- I used a spicy cheddar cheese just to give it more of a kick.
- If you don't have a scallion, a slice of onion would be fine. Then just sprinkle some dried chives or parsley on top for the pretty effect.
- I made this recipe two servings, but I liked the first one so much I ended up eating the other half just an hour later.
