Restaurant Style Queso Blanco

I made this last night for our Polar Express party and it was a huge hit and so yummy! I think that next time I am going to substitute the Monterrey Jack for some Pepper Jack cheese next time to give it a little kick! I found it on this website.

  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil (veggie, olive, canola - whatever you have)
  • 1/4 cup white onion, diced
  • 1 large jalapeno or serrano, seeds and stem removed; diced
  • 12 oz white American cheese (I have the deli give me 3 slices on 10), shredded
  • 4 oz Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded (optional; don't use pre-shredded)
  • 1/4-2/3 cup cream, half-and-half, or whole milk
  • 1 roma tomato, seeds removed and diced
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, roughly chopped

  1. Heat the oil in a saute pan. Cook the onion and pepper until softened and reduce heat to medium-low.
  2. Add the shredded cheese and 1/4 cup of the cream. Stir until mostly melted.
  3. Add the tomatoes, cilantro, and additional cream a little at a time until you reach desired consistency.
  4. Serve with chips. I think it would be yummy with bread too.
