• Cheese Selection: For the best flavor, choose a combination of sharp and extra-sharp cheddar cheese. The sharpness adds depth to the wafers.

• Spice Level: Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your taste preferences. You can increase or decrease the amount for a milder or spicier kick.

• Uniform Size: To ensure even baking, try to make the wafers a consistent size and thickness. This helps them bake evenly and achieve a crisp texture.

• Storage: Store any leftover wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage and reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispness.
