I'm only giving this 3 stars as written, because while the combination of cheese and white wine is VERY nice, it was WAY heavy on the kirsch -- when I made this the kirsch (listed as 4 ounces just completely took over -- ALL we could taste was alcohol, even after it cooked down a bit. I'm very willing to try this again, but I will DEFINITELY reduce the kirsch to a tablespoon or two. Especially given the relative high cost of the Gruyere and Emmental, it was disappointing not to enjoy it.

I have used this recipe many times, sometimes substituting white wine for th Kirsch, and everyone loves it! It is easy to do, and is delicious with fresh veggies as well as the bread.
