Make Ahead
The cheese mixture can be refrigerated overnight.
Suggested Pairing
Though many people would jump to a red wine for this cheesy dish, a firmly acidic white is actually a better partner—in fact, zesty whites are more versatile with cheese in general than reds are. Since Welsh wine isn't exactly easy to come by, head to northern Italy instead and pour a refreshing Pinot Grigio.
