Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 scallion, sliced, whites and greens kept separate
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 4-ounce block sharp white Cheddar
2 1/2 ounces low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella
3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped, plus 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
2/3 cup whole milk
