I read the ingredients, and whipped up my own version. Jarlsberg comes in a block or wedge of cheese- I purchased mine at Trader Joe's for $6.99/lb, but I've also seen them at Kroger and Meijer. You can either grate them by hand or use the shredder option on your food processor. While I've only made this as a cold appetizer/snack, I'm confident it'll taste just as good baked*. Try it for yourself today!
Ingredients:
2-2.25 cups shredded Jarlsberg cheese (Used a 0.65-lb wedge of Jarlsberg)
3/4-1 cup Hellmann's mayo (must be Hellmann's, and not low-fat!)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 tsp garlic powder (a little goes a long way here...)
Crackers, for serving
Directions:
1. If it's not already shredded, shred the Jarlsberg cheese.
2. Add the mayo, red onion, and garlic to your shredded cheese.
3. Serve with crackers, and enjoy.
* For a baked version, I would saute the red onion in 1 Tbsp butter until soft and tender. Mix all ingredients together and bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes until the surface is golden brown and bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips.

I work for Kroger and also love this dip but the Jarlsberg cheese is pretty pricey,so I substituted regular swiss cheese with the Hellman's and red onion and it is pretty darn good and at a third the price.
Use a sweet vidalia onion and bake it all together and serve on crackers. I used to use mozzarella for that, but I have been using Jarlsberg ever since I found out about it! Sometime 1/2 and 1/2 when I am low on the Jarlsberg. :)
Your story sounds like what I did when I came across the display sample at Krogers. At $6.99 a pound though I think it's very pricey. Thanks for sharing your recipe I'll give it a try.
At my BJ's the Jarlsberg is only $4.49 a pound. You have to buy about a 2 lb wedge, but it lasts forever.
I work at schnucks, and our jarlsberg cheese is normally $11.99 a pound....so $6.99 is awesome! however, its on sale for easter for $4.99!
