Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Jarlsberg cheese, freshly grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Grate the Jarlsberg cheese using a box grater or food processor.
2. Dice the red onion finely for even flavor distribution.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine grated Jarlsberg, mayonnaise, red onion, and black pepper. Mix gently.
4. Chill for at least 1 hour if serving cold, covered in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container.
5. To serve warm, place the dip in a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Notes
Freshly grated Jarlsberg melts better and blends smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
For best flavor, let the dip chill for at least an hour before serving.
If reheating, do it gently to avoid oil separation.
