You can use any kind of cheese in for this sauce. If you're thinking that 6 ounces of cheese is an odd amount, that's what comes in a block of Swiss cheese where I shop. You can use 8 ounces, but you may need to increase the amount of cream if it seems too thick. I used 1/2 teaspoon of salt in mine and it was a little too salty so I've cut it back to 1/4 teaspoon in the recipe. You can always add more to taste, but go easy at first.
