Notes

Quality matters: Use Hatch green chiles for authentic Southwestern flavor—mild or hot depending on your preference.
Cheese blend option: Combine mozzarella with Monterey Jack or cheddar for more depth.
Garlic butter boost: Infuse the butter with herbs or spices before dipping for added aroma and flavor.
Check doneness: Insert a skewer into the center—if it comes out clean and not doughy, it’s ready.
Finishing touch: Brush baked bread with extra butter and sprinkle with Parmesan or sea salt.
