Queso Blanco Recipe (Posted on 6/7/11 at 3:56 p.m.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't really measure things out unless I'm baking. But I have had varying success with a queso blanco dip of sorts. You'll have to eyeball it yourself or look up an actual recipe. This is just a guide.

Step 1: Fry some vegetables

I usually dice about 3 serrano peppers and one small white onion. Heat up some butter in a pan and add about half a teaspoon of whole cumin seeds once the butter starts getting hot. Add the peppers and onion.

Once these are nice and translucent you can set aside

Step 2: I usually start this in the middle of step 1 to save time.

Make a light blonde roux with flour and butter. Once you have your roux made, add some whole milk to make a stock of sorts. After you have this down add shredded oxaca cheese a little bit at a time whisking it into the stock and letting it incorporate nicely.

Add the fried onions and vegetables to the cheese once it has all been incorporated and mix some more. I usually put a few dashes of cholula or tapatio hot sauce and give it a taste. Add more heat until it is to your liking. I've also tried adding about a half teaspoon of smoked chile powder to this as well to give it a little bit more depth.

Serve hot with your favorite tortilla chips. No matter how much you make, it won't last very long.
