Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Cheese Blend
  • 1 cup shredded Muenster cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • ½ cup softened cream cheese
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup chopped Hatch green chiles fresh or canned
  • ½ cup cooked chorizo crumbled
  • ½ cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 1 jalapeño diced (optional extra heat)
To Serve
  • Warm corn tortillas tostadas, or tortilla chips

Method
 

Combine the cheeses
  1. In a medium bowl, mix shredded Muenster and Pepper Jack with softened cream cheese until well blended and creamy.
Fold in chile verde
  1. Add chopped Hatch green chiles and optional mix-ins (chorizo, bacon, jalapeño). Stir gently to distribute evenly.
Heat the skillet
  1. Warm a cast-iron skillet over medium heat on the stovetop—or preheat the broiler if you prefer oven finishing.
Melt the cheese
  1. Add the cheese-chile mixture to the skillet. Stir occasionally for 5–7 minutes until fully melted and bubbling.
Broil for extra melt (optional)
  1. Transfer the skillet to the oven’s broiler and broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely until the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve immediately
  1. Remove the skillet carefully and place it on a heat-safe surface. Serve piping hot with warmed tortillas, tostadas, or chips.
