CHILE CHEESE SQUARES
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.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the chicken broth, bell pepper, honey, ginger, vinegar, and chipotle chile, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 1/2 hours. Add the raspberries and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chutney cool slightly. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. (Chutney can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cool and store in the refrigerator).
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch square. Cut the pastry into 2 to 3-inch squares. Put the squares on the prepared baking sheet. Using a small cookie cutter score a circle in the center of each square or using a paring knife, score a 1/2-inch border around the edge of each square. Bake the squares until puffed and golden, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the scored, top section of the cooked pastry and fill with some of the goat cheese. Spoon a generous dollop of the chipotle-raspberry chutney on top of the goat cheese. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the chile cheese squares will taste. This is especially true for the cheese and the chiles.
- Shred your cheese at home: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of the chile cheese squares. Shredding your cheese at home ensures that you get the best possible flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chiles: This will help to prevent the chiles from tearing and will also make it easier to remove the seeds.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chile cheese squares, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will also make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Serve the chile cheese squares immediately: These squares are best served hot out of the oven. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but they are best reheated in a toaster oven or on a griddle.
Conclusion:
Chile cheese squares are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tasty squares that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
