Honestly? I’m team “uncovered with a watchful eye.” I love that crackly crust too much to sacrifice it. But on a lazy Sunday, when I’m half-watching Netflix and just want cheesy comfort with zero fuss, I’ll cover it for the first half.
So next time you’re staring at your mac, ask yourself: Do I want a hug or a crunch? No wrong answer, just wrong execution—and now you’ve got the playbook. Go forth and bake, cheese friend.
