- Gruyere cheese — For the best flavor, use high-quality Gruyere cheese and grate it fresh.
- Parmesan cheese — Opt for freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged grated cheese for superior taste.
- Thyme and rosemary — If using dried herbs, crush them slightly between your fingers to release their aromatic oils.
- Nutmeg — Grate fresh nutmeg for a more intense and fragrant flavor.
