FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I brown butter without burning it?
Use a light-colored pan so you can see the color changing. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty – about 5-7 minutes. Watch carefully as it can go from perfect to burnt quickly!
Can I make these ahead?
While they’re best fresh from the oven, you can assemble them up to 4 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated and brush with the glaze just before baking.
What cheese works best?
Sharp cheddar gives amazing flavor, but any good melting cheese works great – Gruyere adds sophistication, while Havarti keeps things creamy and mild.
