This recipe calls for 2 cups of Gruyere cheese. Let’s talk about that for a minute. When I say Gruyere, I mean the real deal. Made in Switzerland.🇨🇭If it’s made in Wisconsin, we don’t want it in this recipe.

Why?? Because we need the deep and rich flavors that can only be found in imported cheese. Trust me. Why use Gruyere? Because it’s the best cheese! But seriously, it’s known as the best cheese for baking because it’s flavors are so rich but it also doesn’t overpower other ingredients.

I find the best price on imported Gruyere at Trader Joe’s or Costco.

Here’s the recipe:

  • 2 cups grated gruyere cheese
  • 1 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise 
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped green onion
  • Mix well so there are no lumps of cream cheese.  Scoop the dip into a hollowed-out pumpkin and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Serve with crackers and fruit. 

I pre bake my pumpkin for about 20 minutes so it’s easier to scoop out the seeds and then I fill it with the cheese dip and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes.

I love serving this dip charcuterie style with a variety of crackers, seasonal fruits, and even lightly steamed veggies.
