CHEESE SQUARES APPETIZER

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.

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère will give you a cheesy, flavorful appetizer.
Be sure to grate the cheese finely. This will help it melt evenly and prevent it from becoming clumpy.
If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture.
Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a little more milk.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help it hold its shape when it is baked.
Bake the cheese squares until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
Serve the cheese squares warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These cheese squares are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are cheesy, flavorful, and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you are looking for an easy and delicious appetizer, be sure to give these cheese squares a try.
