Notes
Vegan Adaptation: Use plant-based cream and vegan cheese. Vegetarian Adaptation: This recipe is already vegetarian. Cheese Swaps: Try using cheddar, fontina, or provolone instead of Gruyère. Spice Boost: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a warm, spiced flavor. Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top along with the breadcrumbs for added texture.
