i do this quite a lot. I also fry up bacon (in tiny squares) onion and mushrooms in garlic and throw that in aswell... deeeeelicious!

To make it even better sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top before adding the cheese layer.
The breadcrumbs should crisp and add a nice crunchy top layer :)

It's my favourite too. We add in garlic fried mushrooms.
When feeling posh we use smoked cheese and wild mushrooms.
