Gruyère (pronounced \"groo-YAIR\") is a smooth-melting type of Swiss cheese that's made from whole cow's milk and generally cured for six months or longer.
This is a new cheese to me and I'm gonna have to try it now and, yes, this bread sounds delicious!  :eat:  :drool:

Oh, it's prolly my fav cheese for melting. I always keep some in the fridge as I love to make mornay sauces and put it on almost everything. LOL It's a variation of the classic mother sauce, béchamel. I like to use white pepper in stead of black. I also add a dallop of dijon mustard for a little kick and add a bay leaf and 2 sprigs of rosemary while it's simmering then remove them.  :eat: I usually make it at least once per month and will add some seared, diced chicken and/or veggies and put it on a bed of pasta or rice.

Be warned...once you start making really good sauces you'll get hooked on them. LOL
