For an extra layer of flavor, try using vegetable broth instead of water.
Fresh sage and rosemary can be substituted for dried, use 1 tablespoon of each, chopped.
If you don't have smoked Gouda, you can use regular Gouda or another semi-hard cheese like Gruyere or Fontina.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a nice touch.

    The smoked Gouda really makes this dish special. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
