DEVILISHLY HOT PIMENTO CHEESE DIP
Steps:
- First, prepare the bread boule by slicing off the top 2 inches and hollowing out the center, leaving the walls of the boule about an inch thick. Cut the top and insides of the bread into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Whisk in the mustard, paprika, cayenne and salt; cook for an additional 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onion/garlic mixture and stir to combine; cook about 2 minutes more. Gradually whisk in the milk and gently simmer for 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until it melts. Then add the Cheddar cheese. Once all the cheeses are melted, stir in the roasted peppers and hot green chiles. Season with black pepper to taste and additional salt, if necessary.
- Preheat the broiler on high.
- Scoop the pimento cheese mixture into the hollowed-out bread boule and place on a baking sheet. Broil until the top begins to bubble and lightly brown, a couple of minutes. Place the filled boule on a platter and serve immediately with the bread cubes.

Steps:
- Crumble the feta into small pieces using a fork.
- Sauté the pepper in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the skin is lightly browned. Remove the stem and discard, and chop the pepper into very small pieces.
- Using a mortar and pestle, add the pepper and the oil it was sautéed in to the cheese and mash until smooth, adding additional olive oil if needed to bring it to the consistency of a thick (but not stiff) dip. Serve garnished with a bit of parsley.
- Alternatively: Put the cheese, pepper, and oil from sautéeing in the blender and mix, adding more olive oil if needed to bring to the correct consistency.
- (Note: If you have a pepper that's too hot, slit it open down one side under running water and remove and discard the white internal membrane. Pat the pepper dry before sautéeing.).

Steps:
- Heat stewed tomatoes till a bit bubbly and add the cream cheese.
- Stir until well blended.
- Remove from heat and serve in a nice serving bowl with tortilla chips or chunks of Italian bread.
- I sometimes will cut out the center of a round bread, line the inside with foil and pour in the dip.
- Cut up the center portion of the bread and use it to dip into the dip.
- Caution: if you do the bread bowl idea -- make sure you line it well so the liquid doesn't have a chance to soak into the outside rim of the bowl -- I have done that by accident and it is not a pretty sight!

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: A good cheese dip starts with a good cheese. For this recipe, a combination of sharp cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese is used. You can also use other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or Pepper Jack.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your cheese dip. Use freshly grated cheese, fresh milk, and fresh vegetables.
- Don't overcook the cheese: The cheese should be melted and smooth, but not overcooked. Overcooked cheese will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the cheese dip immediately: Cheese dip is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Garnish the cheese dip: Garnish the cheese dip with chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, or crumbled bacon. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
Conclusion:
Hot cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese, and it can be served with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, bread cubes, or vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a hot cheese dip that will be the hit of your next party.
