Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper and cook until softened.
Add the saffron threads to the skillet and stir until fragrant.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the seafood and cook until done.
In a separate pot, melt the cheeses together over low heat, stirring until smooth.
