quick appetizer

If you&#39;re looking for a smash hit appetizer that&#39;s easy to make and feeds loads of people, you definitely need to try this simple recipe for unctuous Queso Fundido.

Queso Fundido

Tbsp cooking oil (0.04)

lb. Mexican chorizo, beef or pork (4.58)

queso quesadilla, shredded (5.98)

Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove the chorizo from its casing (if any) and grate the cheese on the largest holes of a box grater.

Set an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, and add the tablespoon of oil. Cook the chorizo for 7 to 8 minutes, until the fat renders and the sausage is bubbly.

Drain the fat from the skillet, reserving 3 tablespoons of chorizo for garnish.  If it&#39;s very greasy, place it on top of paper towels to get as much fat off of it as possible before putting it back in the pan. Top the chorizo with the grated cheese.

Place the skillet in the oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.  Place the skillet on a heat-proof surface, garnish with reserved chorizo, and serve immediately.

This was absolutely to die for! I keep thinking about the flavors and how I might use this in other recipes. It’s that good!

This was a winning recipe! It was absolutely delicious. Rave reviews as well from guests. The only thing I struggled with is the honey mixture was quite runny and so made the dip a bit soupy. Is there a fix for this? I followed the recipe exactly so I’m not sure what I did wrong.

Very Easy, 10 out of 10,it's going to my next pot luck or dinner party.

Have made this dip before but this time after putting into serving dish, and spooning honey mixture, dip turned into a watery mess that would not even grab onto pita chips.  It was like I poured water into the dish.  Have no idea what could have cause this.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Please email me if it has or if you have any suggestions - love this dip!!

I made this and the taste was amazing. But the dip was very “liquidy.”  Then it did not look appealing. I wonder why?  Was it the consistency of the honey or any other ideas?  I do want to make it again with the correction. Thanks

Quick, easy, and delicious, these 2 Ingredient Pizza Chips are the perfect low-carb snack or appetizer. Made with just shredded mozzarella and mini pepperoni, they bake into crispy, cheesy bites that everyone will love!

2 Ingredient Pizza Chips

mozzarella cheese

mini pepperoni (about 21 g)

Italian seasoning (optional,

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheating ensures the oven is hot enough to create the crispy texture for your chips.

Prepare the Mini Muffin Pan

Lightly grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan using cooking spray or a brush with oil. This ensures easy removal of the chips after baking.

Add the Cheese

Place 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese into each greased cup. Lightly pat down the cheese with your fingers or a spoon for even melting.

Top with Pepperoni

Place 3 slices of mini pepperoni on top of the cheese in each cup. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top if desired for extra flavor.

Bake

Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese are dark golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning, as oven times may vary.

Cool and Remove

Let the chips cool in the muffin pan until safe to touch. This ensures they firm up for easier removal. Use a small spatula or knife to gently loosen and lift the chips out of the pan. Place the chips on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra grease.

Serve

Serve the chips warm on their own or with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with extra Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan for added flavor, if desired.
