Queso Blanco Ingredients
- 2 cups white cheese, shredded
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped green chilies (mild or spicy based on preference)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, add the shredded white cheese, whole milk, unsalted butter, and chopped green chilies.
- Melt and Stir: Continuously stir the mixture to prevent sticking and burning, allowing the ingredients to melt together gradually.
- Achieve Smooth Texture: Continue cooking and stirring until the cheese mixture is fully melted and smooth, with a creamy consistency.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a dip or sauce with tortilla chips, vegetables, or over dishes as desired.
Notes
- Use mild or hot green chilies depending on your preferred spice level.
- Whole milk gives the best creamy texture; you can substitute with 2% milk but the sauce will be slightly less rich.
- Keep the heat low to avoid curdling or burning the cheese mixture.
- Stir continuously to ensure smooth melting and prevent ingredients from sticking to the pan.
- For a thinner sauce, add more milk gradually while melting.
