CHEESE SQUARES APPETIZER



Cheese Squares Appetizer image

This is a wonderful baked appetizer blending the tastes of Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. The amount of jalapenos used can easily be adjusted to personal taste, although baking does take a lot of the burn out of the peppers. I've made this several times and I never have leftovers. My husband wishes I would make these for him every day. I don't recommend doubling the recipe; make multiple batches instead.

CHILE CHEESE SQUARES



Chile Cheese Squares image

This is a family favorite and it is very easy to make. We originally discovered it as an appetizer, but I think it is great for brunch. I also make it just for myself and freeze the squares to have for lunch in the future. The recipe is very open to substitutions. Fresh green chiles can be used if you happen to live where you can get them and the recipe can probably be made without them or with any amount according to your tastes.
