RESTAURANT-STYLE WHITE QUESO (QUESO BLANCO)

Steps:

• Warm half and half in medium saucepan over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add cheese in small increments, whisking well between addition, allowing cheese to melt almost completely before adding next handful.
• When all cheese has been added and melted, whisk mixture vigorously over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon diced jalapeños, 1 tablespoon jalapeño juice, and 1 big pinch salt, then whisk until completely smooth.
• Taste queso and add jalapeños and/or juice as needed for more tang and spice. Stir well and constantly to prevent queso from sticking or burning. Once desired taste has been achieved, transfer queso into bowl and serve hot.

QUESO BLANCO DIP (RESTURANT STYLE)

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 and 1/2 over medium/high heat in a small saucepan.
• Once simmering (bring to JUST before boil -- when it starts bubbling up the sides it is ready), reduce heat to low.
• Immediately stir in the cheese in batches, starting with the White American cheese, then fontina or mozzarella. As you stir in the cheese, increase heat to medium and whisk CONSTANTLY while the cheese melts. Once each batch is melted/creamy, add more. Don't stop stirring, you have to whisk the entire time while adding cheese.
• Once all the cheese is melted, stir in the jalapenos, chili powder, nutmeg, red pepper, and salt and pepper.
• Top with cilantro, tomatoes, and more jalapenos if desired.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Toss all ingredients into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir after every minute. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but should come together as a nice runny dip after all the cheese is melted.
• Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a sauce over your favorite Mexican dish.
