Credit for this recipe goes to my friend Meridee! She's the one who originally shared it with me and gave me permission to share it here!
Note: I've made this a few times with Sharp Cheddar instead of Swiss - and I can attest to the deliciousness of both cheeses. Try it, you won't be disappointed with either!
