I used about half heavy cream and half light. Very good and easy. I'd like to try it with cheddar cheese too. Thanks for sharing.

Very, VERY good, Parsley!!!!!!! I halved the recipe and used gruyere, but next time I'll try regular swiss! After it baked and cooled, it was just a tad runny. But I'm sure it was the cheese. But it was still WONDERFUL!!! Rich and creamy!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to make this again!! TY!!!!!! :) :) :)
