I usually make mine with two kinds of cheeses, a cheddar base (sometimes 
cojack) and a white cheese (swiss or mozzarella), with mustard. I 
alternate between comfort mustard (French's yellow) and the tasty Jack 
Daniel's dijon type. And on a tasty dill rye bread, lovely. Hmmm, I know 
what I'm having for lunch (G).
