If you can’t find hazelnuts in your local grocery store, then feel free to use the nut of your choice. Crushed cashews are a great alternate.

Cheese Idea

I’ve made this recipe over and over and I have found that sharp cheddar cheese usually works the best. It really stands up to the baking process.
