gruyere cheese

Gruyère ( or ; French pronunciation: [ɡʁyjɛʁ], German: Greyerzer) is a hard yellow Swiss cheese that originated in the cantons of Fribourg, Vaud, Neuchâtel, Jura, and Berne in Switzerland. It is named after the town of Gruyères. In 2001, Gruyère gained the appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC, now AOP).
Gruyère is sweet but slightly salty, with a flavor that varies widely with age. It is often described as creamy and nutty when young, becoming more assertive, earthy, and complex as it matures. When fully aged (five months to a year) it tends to have small cracks that impart a slightly grainy texture.

    Recipe Roasted Garlic Soup

    Recipe Gruyere puffs (gougeres)

    Gruyere puffs (gougeres) with 2 sauces courtesy of Hubert Keller I placed these under this forum due to the fact that they have far, far more dairy in them than flour, and the Gruyere cheese is what makes them gougeres. These can be made smaller, initial piping 1/2 inch, instead of the 1-1/2...

    Recipe Croque Monsieur

    I used Amish Milk bread to make this open-faced sandwich the last time we had this. I'm making that again today with some changes and hopefully it will come out correctly this time as the dough had a different feel to it than the 2 previous times I made it. BTW, this is definitely a knife and...
