Variations and Tips
Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations based on your preference. Gruyère, Gouda, or even a mix of your favorite cheeses can be used to customize the flavor.
Vegetable Additions: For added flavor and texture, consider mixing in vegetables like sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or chopped spinach.
Make Ahead: This dish can be prepared a day in advance. Assemble the casserole up to the baking stage, then cover and refrigerate. When ready to bake, add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure it heats through.
Gluten-Free Option: If you need a gluten-free version, make sure to use gluten-free chicken stock and ensure your cheese is free from any added gluten.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture for a spicy kick.
