I don't normally have gruyere on hand (I had to look it up to find out what it was.) Is there a good substitute for this?
I don't usually have gruyere on hand either! It is so good though, Bill's favorite. I looked online and it is a kind of swiss, so you could use that. But really any sort of cheese that is your favorite will work. You don't have to use two cheese either, but it just adds more dimensional flavor (at least that is what Ina Garten on the food network says!).
