Mexican Holiday Recipes

Cheese Fondue with Tequila

Ingredients:

1 large round crusty bread (French or Shepard)
1 tsp. butter
2/3 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese
7 oz cream cheese, cubed
5 oz Manchego cheese, shredded (Monterrey Jack can be substituted)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp sour cream
1 jigger Tequila
½ tsp pureed chipotle chile (optional)
salt & pepper to taste

1 French baguette, cut in bite size pieces

Directions:

Cut a large hole in the top of the round bread and scoop out the insides without breaking the crust. Cut the baguette into bite size pieces & set aside.
Melt 1tsp butter in a saucepan, add garlic, cook until soft (one minute). Add the Roquefort, cream & Manchego cheeses stirring to combine. Add the sour cream, Tequila and chile, continue stirring until the mixture is well blended together. Add salt & pepper to taste & pour the mixture into the hollowed bread round.

Have tooth picks or skewers ready for your guests to dip the bread bites into Fondue.
