Scale

- 2 cups green salsa (salsa verde)
- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and chopped cilantro before serving.
