*Made for PAC Spring 2008* I really wish I could give you more than 5 stars for this recipe. It was absolutely wonderful! I used a combo of swiss and gruyere for the cheese. Your directions are spot on, right down to the baking time. You're right, this would be a perfect brunch dish.Thank You for a new favorite.
