Instructions - What To Do

1. The Heat: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. The Melt: Bake for 8–10 minutes until the Smoked Gouda is bubbly and the edges of the Bacon Cheddar are slightly crisp.
5. The Garnish: Remove from oven and immediately top with red onions, jalapeños, and tomatoes.
6. The Finish: Drizzle with chipotle crema and serve hot right off the tray.
