Cooking It in a Dutch Oven
I cook and serve this in a cast iron Dutch oven. It gives off that rustic charm look. Any Dutch oven would work though, and the fancy enameled cast iron would also be a great option. If it’s made over the stove ahead of time, it’s easy to pop in the oven and heat up!

This recipe is great in that you can add different types of cheese. I have added smoked gouda, extra parmesan, gruyere. I think it would even taste good with some swiss. Play around with the recipe and find out what method works for you!
