Chiles Con Queso Chilies In Cheese Sauce

Features:
    Cuisine:

    A cheese fondue with a difference. The chilies and tequila give this cheese sauce quite a kick. It makes an excellent starter or light lunch. Heating the chilies will bring out their sweetness, as the natural sugars in them will caramelise. Removing the seeds from the chilies reduces the heat.

    Chiles Con Queso (Chilies in Cheese Sauce), A cheese fondue with a difference The chilies and tequila give this cheese sauce quite a kick It makes an excellent starter or light lunch Heating the chilies will bring out their sweetness, as the natural sugars in them will caramelise Removing the seeds from the chilies reduces the heat , We liked this but it had a sharp bitter taste for some reason I thinned it down and added some mozzarella to try and tone it down some Loved the heat of the serrano chilies used 1/2 and 1/2 in place of the heavy cream and creme fraiche (didn’t have any) Thanks for posting Made for PAC Fall 07
