Notes
Caramelized onions: I like this method for making caramelized onions by The Kitchn, and they can be used as toppings and ingredients for so many dishes! You can also buy prepackaged caramelized onions.
Cheese Alternatives: If you can't find Havarti, some alternatives are Gouda, or Monterey Jack. If you can't find Emmental, try Jarlsberg, Gruyère, or Swiss.
