"I don't remember where I got the original recipe but I think I have tweaked this enough that I can call it my own. Use Gruyere cheese if you can, or Swiss. Mozzarella or even Monterey Jack are good too but do take away from the authenticity of the dish. This tends to be on the salty side so you might want to use low sodium chicken stock."
