Any alternative to cheddar cheese?

Oh my guuuhh it’s so freaking good, too. Probably the best keto recipe I’ve made yet. So creamy and delish. I diced up just a little bacon in it to give it a little texture. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The ingredients do NOT include Monterey Jack Cheese. Confusing. AND the amount of spinach (I made it 2 servings) is MUCH too much for the amount of cheese that you pour over. I ended up having to take everything out of the oven, mixing it all by hand then because no Monterey Jack was listed and I have none, I had to use shredded mozzarella. I can only hope that now we're all stuck home because of COVID, I haven't wasted that precious spinach and the cheddar cheese.
