  1. I am not a swiss cheese lover, does there happen to be another cheese that I can use instead?
    The dish sounds great and would love to try it.
    Please let me know.
    Thx.

  2. Hello Anon!

    I don't see why you couldn't use a sharp cheddar or even a mozzarella if you wanted! It is a pretty versatile dish!
