Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10-20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set slightly. (15 minutes)
For an even richer flavor, consider using a combination of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
Fresh dill can be substituted for dried dill; use about 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill.
To add a touch of heat, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the cream sauce.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
