Notes
For the best flavor, use full-fat mayonnaise and sharp cheddar cheese. Toast the almonds for a deeper, nuttier flavor by toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown and fragrant. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To make it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
