JALAPENO CHEESE SQUARES
These are self-limiting for me as they are very hot and spicy, however,
for a milder version, use canned jalapenos instead. These are an unusual appetizer. You could also serve these at breakfast time actually. If you’re a spice chicken, the canned
jalapenos are a great option or if using fresh, use only 1 jalapeno and do not
use the seeds. Someone on Facebook suggested adding a layer of cream cheese. That could take this to a whole new level.
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded
and finely chopped, OR use
1/4 cup diced, canned jalapenos (60 mL)
10
oz grated Cheddar cheese (284 g)
6
eggs, fork beaten
Preheat the oven to 350°F
(180°C).
Spread jalapeno peppers in
8-inch (20 cm) square glass baking dish.
Cover with Cheddar cheese. Pour
eggs over top. Bake in oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until set. Serve cold or at
room temperature.
Helpful Hint: Use gloves
while handling jalapenos.
