Advice and Changes
For a vegetarian version, you may replace the ham with sautéed mushrooms or zucchini. Swapping up the cheddar for Gruyère will make it nuttier, and if you want to add some texture, sprinkle some breadcrumbs mixed with herbs and butter on top. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce to taste if you like the cream sauce on the spicier side.
