Great recipe! Thank you! I will definitely be trying my hand at these. Just one question: does the cheese need to be melted, chopped, cubed, diced in any way? Sorry if that should be common sense. I only ask because I have a leftover block of gruyere from making french onion soup, and am wondering how to prepare the cheese for this recipe.
Thank you in advance!
I would suggest grating the gruyere as it will cook more evenly. Thanks so much for asking! Let us know how you like the muffins, this recipe is one of our favorites!
