Ahhh! Memories of our favorite French restaurant back in Mass. A subtle layering of flavors that blend beautifuly without masking each other. I made 1/2 the recipe and and let the dish sit for 10 minutes before seving so that the liquid was absorbed. My only suggestion is Chef Claude's special ingredient for potatoes - use finely ground white pepper. Great recipe Junebug!

My oh my, did this ever bring back memories of my Mothers recipe. I always gave her a 5 for her cooking and I must do the same with yours. I made it just as the recipe stated and shared it with my neighbors for dinner and you got 3-5* out of 3. (Their 3 year old was too busy eating it to do a rating.) The muenster cheese is so delicious in this. Next time I'm going to add a touch more tho'.*s*. Cause I'M a cheese nut. This is a repeater for sure. Thanks so much for this one. Chuck

As I was thinking about what I wanted to type, I started questioning whether I should even submit a review since I changed so much! But I used your recipe as a guide, so you should get the credit! I didn't leave the garlic in the pan as my audience aren't real garlic lovers, but I did rub the sides. I used 2 cups each of Colby and Cheddar cheeses because I've never tried Muenster. And finally I used a 2 quart dish to bake. This worked well except it dramatically increased the baking time since it was so much thicker. What I ended up with was fabulous, so I know that following the recipe as originally stated would be great as well! Thanks Junebug!

I am a wife, Mother and Grandmother. I am a native Texan and can't imagine living anywhere else. My Grandmother taught me to cook before I could see the top of the counter. I remember standing on a stool in her kitchen learning to make pancakes. My Mother loved to cook and it seems she was cooking (or cleaning) most of the time. So those are the two ladies responsible for nurturing my love of cooking!

As you can see I cook and review recipes more than I post them. That's because I am a pinch of this and a dollop of that cook and it's hard to put those recipes down on paper.
