For a richer flavor, try using a blend of cheddar and Gruyère cheese. If you don't have whole-grain bread crumbs, you can make your own by pulsing whole-grain bread in a food processor until finely ground. To prevent the bread crumbs from burning, you can tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
