Notes
- This dip can be prepared up to one day in advance to allow flavors to meld.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze for up to three months; thaw in the fridge and remix before serving if frozen.
- Sour cream is a suitable substitute for crème fraîche in this recipe.
- Regular Swiss cheese can be used instead of Jarlsberg cheese without significantly altering the dip.
