I just realized that I should mention that I just baked these and they turned out just fine. I used what cheese I had and that worked well, I think I had shredded parmasan and a mild cheddar cheese.

There are so many recipes for me to try. I cannot wait until October when I go to my shin-digs so that I can go off the low-carb and try them out. lol

rhi, I wonder; do you think crushed cheese crackers would work for the bread crumbs/ then mix with the swiss cheese?
