i am making chicken cordon bleu and i need to know what cheese would work best, i bought some Mozzerella, Swiss, Provalone, and Munstear(or however you spell it...it sounds like munster) and my local market didn't have Gruyere or Emmenthal so im wondering what would be best because the cheeses i listed seemed to be the best for this dish out of the selection at my grocery store.

I would go with the Swiss. Actually, any mildly flavorful, good melting cheese would work. You want it to stand up to the bacon or ham, but not overwhelm the chicken flavor.

Definitely. In fact, that is the best kind of cheese to put in chicken cordon bleu, I've done it several times. That is, of course, if you like smoked Gruyere, it is an acquired taste, but it would be a chef's first choice. The smokiness goes with the ham-- the flavors compliment one another very nicely.

Traditionally swiss cheese is used, however I used Provolone since I do not care for the taste of swiss cheese.
