For a richer flavor, try using a combination of Gruyere and Parmesan cheese. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the breadcrumb topping for an extra layer of flavor. Feel free to substitute other root vegetables based on your preference and availability. Celeriac, beets, or even potatoes would work well. If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the vegetable mixture before adding the cheese.
