Gruyere is Nick's favorite cheese. After I finally convinced him to try gouda, he's more trusting of trying new cheeses. The first time he had Gruyere...I created a monster. He is a Gruyere aficionado. A very very enthusiastic aficionado. He's made everyone try Gruyere! We like to refer to it as fancy Gouda because it tastes a lot like Gouda...a little more mild, in my opinion. It's a great cheese for macaroni and cheese. This type of recipe has really ruined boxed macaroni and cheese for me. Homemade macaroni and cheese doesn't take that much longer to make than the boxed mix and the outcome is worth it. It's so much more worth it!
