I used some gouda for the inside cheese instead of gruyere, and ommitted the mushrooms from the sauce, but I kept it pretty close to the recipe. I don't have a meat thermometer, so we just poked at it every fifteen or twenty minutes. Final cooking time was about 45 minutes, and it came out really well.

Try not to poke at it since you'll lose a lot of juice from the meat that way.
Next time you head off to walmart or target pick up a thermometer! last one I bought there was I think 13 bucks. best kitchen toy EVER!

Glad it worked out great for you. do it 2-3 more times and it should take you about 20 mins prep and whatever time to cook it.

as with anything in life, do it a few times and you'll get it down good.

Made this tonight for my girlfriend, took me about an hour and fifteen minutes total. I punished the bottle of white wine while I was cooking haha. All in all a great meal, but I learned that I need way more cheese and more ham.

Did you end up going with a high end rich cheese or something more basic?

[Eric the Ricer]

I used gruyere.

I guess you just like it cheesy and hammy then =)
