4. Broil.

4.1 Remove from oven. Have a visiting family member remove the aluminum foil for you so they get burned and you don’t. Ensure it’s someone you don’t care for.

1/2 cup colby jack

4.3 Broil on the top rack until the cheese is browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch this or it’ll be gross and burnt instead of browned.
