For a richer flavor, use a combination of Gruyere and Cheddar cheese.
Freshly grated nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note to the sauce.
If you want to make it ahead, assemble the casserole (without the fried onions) and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Add the onions just before baking.
Try using different types of mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile.
