This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

The sauce was a bit too runny for my taste, but the overall flavor was good. I would try this recipe again with a thicker sauce.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used a combination of sharp cheddar and gruyere cheese, and it was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
