Baked Gruyere with Garlic and Herbs

One of my favorites, because it’s both outrageously simple and, presents as kind of a wow. The best thing, though, is that it really tastes more like you spent time creating something really fantastic. **The only caveat to this is it’s definitely not a “take it to the potluck kind of thing. Once the pan loses heat and the cheese cools, it’s time to put it back in the oven, or move it off the table.
