TLDR - If we try this again, shred and use "pure" Swiss cheese. Also, try thicker pieces of ham - maybe about 1/4" thick. Would be good to use up leftover ham from holiday dinners.
I really wanted to love this. But it was pretty bland and tasted nothing like Chicken Cordon Bleu (to me). To be fair, I tried an "Alpine" shredded cheese blend (with Swiss and Gruyere) instead of just Swiss, because I was lazy and couldn't find pre-shredded Swiss cheese. Use real Swiss cheese next time.
One (adult) child said they didn't like the ham, which made me realize that I couldn't taste the lovely saltiness of the ham at all. Maybe thicker pieces would work better for this recipe?
