Ingredients
- •- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- •- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- •- 1 cup whole milk
- •- 1 cup heavy cream
- •- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- •- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, freshly shredded
- •- 1/4 cup diced green chiles
- •- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
- •- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- •- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- •- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- •- Salt to taste
Instructions
- 11. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until foaming subsides, about 2 minutes.
- 22. Whisk in flour, creating a smooth roux. Cook until mixture turns light golden and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes.
- 33. Gradually pour in milk and cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-6 minutes.
- 44. Reduce heat to low. Add shredded cheeses in small handfuls, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- 55. Fold in green chiles, pickled jalapeños, cumin, garlic powder, and white pepper. Stir until fully incorporated.
- 66. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm over lowest heat setting, stirring occasionally.
