French Onion Soup is a good idea.

Reubens. Ham&Swiss sandwiches.
I've had a Reuben casserole that was good, too.
In my house, a pound of cheese is nothing. My wife is part
and I've been known to buy cheese a case at a time.Yes, I said case...

Yes! Reuben dip with rye breads is awesome.

A cheese fondue? Not sure which kind of Swiss cheese you have (and for a good fondue, you need two kinds of Swiss cheese...), but highly recommended if youâve never tried it before.

Hmmm, turkey reubens would be really good for lunch tomorrow...

Normally we use gruyere, appenzeller, Emmentaler for fondue, but swiss should work, too. Our favorite liquid to add is champagne. It doesn't take much liquid.

Thick (1/2â) slices on a baguette with fig jam and microgreens.
Fantastic lunch.

Not quite the same as going to their restaurant itself, but damn their fondue is great! Even when prepared at home on a not so great electric fondue set. But plenty of other stuff Iâd also like my vaccine for

The one we usually eat is the so-called âmoitiĂ©-moitiĂ©â, with equal amounts of gruyere and emmentaler, white wine and Kirsch. Also tried one with a dark beer, but I prefer the one with white wine.

"Swiss cheese"?
Switzerland makes hundreds of quite different cheeses. Which one is it?

The ones with holes that the moon is made out of.
But thatâs what American provincials call emmental cheese

Oh I see.
In many parts of the English-speaking world the terms "Emmentaler" and "Swiss cheese" are both used to refer to any cheese of the Emmenthal type, whether produced in Switzerland or elsewhere.
Cultural appropriation at its worst!

Well, there the name âAmericanâ cheese is at least a clear warning that itâs not real cheese.

Doesn't America still own the patent on cheeseburgers?
I'm sure you ingrates owe us some royalties.
