Finish with the diced cheese.
Stage 12 - 30 min.
Bake for about 50 minutes at 180°C (360°F).
Remarks
You can also bake it in individual cassolettes rather than in a traditional oven dish.
When you prepare the béchamel sauce, you can add a little of the same cheese as in the recipe at the end of cooking, for an even more pronounced taste.
