Feel free to use whatever cheese you have on hand. Monterey Jack and Swiss cheese also work well.
Stretch Your Dollar
Stretch Your Dollar
Ask the bakery manager at your grocery store if they have any day-old sourdough bread. It will be less expensive, and since you're going to toast it, it will taste just as good as fresh bread.
Great Pairings

Save yourself the expense of the half-and-half by substituting 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup milk instead. Reduce the lemon juice to 1 tablespoon since the sour cream provides sufficient tang.
