This recipe turned out beautifully. The only thing that was troubling was the off putting smell of the gruyere cheese, certainly not for the faint of heart. The whole dish took on this garish smell and I was worried that it was ruined. However, it was alright in the end. Once the fork hits your mouth its actually quite tasty.
