Post Body

I'm making French onion soup for christmas dinner and 1.5x the recipe so instead of 8oz of Gruyere I need 12oz. Gruyere is $17 a pound at my market and is only sold in 8oz blocks.

Can I get away with mixing 8oz of the gruyere with 4oz of another cheese? I have Sharp Cheddar, would that work? Or I could get 8oz of parmesan for $2 instead of paying $8.50 for the extra gruyere.

Also the recipe calls for sherry to deglaze, but I don't like wine in my cooking. I saw somewhere that the sherry could be swapped for apple cider. Would that work? How about apple cider vinegar?

Thanks
