- Gradually stir in ½ cup of Parmesan and ½ cup of Gruyère cheese into the simmering cream until melted.
- Layer the sautéed seafood evenly in ramekins or a baking dish, then pour the creamy sauce over it.
- Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan and Gruyère, and breadcrumbs for crispy texture if desired.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with fresh herbs and lemon zest, then serve immediately.
