Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, mixing on low speed for about 30-45 seconds.
  4. Fold in the hot honey, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes using a spatula.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
