Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 poblano chiles
1 jalapeno chile
Canola oil, for oiling the chiles
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, heated
Pinch chile de arbol powder or cayenne pepper
3 ounces grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 ounces grated white Cheddar (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Tortilla chips, corn tortillas and radishes, for serving
2 large red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
6 whole black peppercorns
4 sprigs fresh thyme plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Rub the poblano and jalapeno chiles with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan and roast, turning a few times, until golden brown and blistered all over, about 15 minutes for the jalapeno and 25 minutes for the poblanos. Remove to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds and dice or slice.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the flour and whisk until smooth and the raw flour taste has cooked out, about 2 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the hot milk, then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and the chile de arbol.
  • Reduce the heat to low and begin adding the cheese a handful at a time, whisking until smooth. Taste for seasoning and fold in some of the diced chiles. Pour into a fondue pot.
  • Mix the remaining diced chiles with the Pickled Red Onions and cilantro and top the queso with the mixture. Serve with tortilla chips, tortillas or radishes.
  • Saute the onions in 1 tablespoon oil in a saute pan over medium-low heat until soft.
  • Meanwhile, place the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, thyme sprigs and 1/4 cup oil in a noncorrosive saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the onions to the hot liquid and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the onions to steep for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. (If steeping overnight, transfer to a bowl and cover.) When ready to serve, drain the liquid and top with chopped thyme.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. Queso fundido is traditionally made with a blend of cheeses, such as Oaxaca, Chihuahua, and Monterey Jack. However, you can use any cheeses that you like. Some good options include:
    • A combination of hard and soft cheeses, such as cheddar and mozzarella
    • A blend of creamy and nutty cheeses, such as Brie and Gouda
    • A selection of flavored cheeses, such as pepper Jack or blue cheese
  • Roast the poblano peppers before adding them to the queso fundido. Roasting the peppers will bring out their flavor and make them slightly smoky. To roast the poblano peppers, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are charred and softened. Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, peel and seed the peppers.
  • Use a good quality chorizo. The chorizo is one of the main ingredients in queso fundido, so it's important to use a good quality chorizo. Look for a chorizo that is made with fresh, high-quality meat. Avoid chorizos that are made with a lot of fillers or preservatives.
  • Serve the queso fundido with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for queso fundido include:
    • Tortilla chips
    • Chips
    • Flour tortillas
    • Salsa
    • Sour cream
    • Pico de gallo
    • Guacamole

Queso fundido is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or gatherings, and it's also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious queso fundido that everyone will love.
