If you don't have Swiss cheese on hand, Gruyère or Emmental cheese are great substitutes that will provide a similar nutty flavor. For a sharper taste, consider using cheddar cheese. You can also opt for a dairy-free cheese alternative if you're looking for a vegan option.
How can I make this dip spicier?
To add some heat to your dip, you can mix in a few dashes of hot sauce or some crushed red pepper flakes. Alternatively, finely chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper can give it a nice kick. Adjust the amount according to your spice preference.
