  • Total Time: 6 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings (about 1/4 cup each)

Ingredients

– Β½ pound White American Cheese, roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces

– 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles (frozen or canned)

– 1 tablespoon finely diced pickled jalapeno slices

– 1 tablespoon juice from the pickled jalapenos

– β…“ cup whole milk

– ΒΌ cup water

– A dash of cumin

Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with this Queso Blanco Dip is straightforward and fun, beginning with gathering your ingredients like the chopped White American Cheese and green chiles. Once everything is ready, you’ll melt them together for a creamy texture that’s hard to resist. This method takes just minutes, making it ideal for busy parents or students who need a quick appetizer.

2-In a medium saucepan: melt the butter over medium heat to kick off the process, or use vegan butter if you’re adapting for plant-based diets. Slowly whisk in the milk or its alternative, heating it gently until it’s warm but not boiling to keep the mixture smooth. You can also try preparing it in a microwave for even faster results, as described in the recipe directions.

3-Gradually add the shredded cheese, stirring continuously until it melts completely into a silky blend. Then, mix in the chopped jalapeno and other seasonings to adjust the flavor. Finally, remove it from the heat and serve right away with your favorite dippers, or cool it for meal prep and reheat later to maintain that perfect consistency.
