Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Grater
Ingredients
- 4 oz Sharp Yellow Cheddar hand grated
- 4 oz Pepper Jack Cheese hand grated
- ½ Cup Dukes Mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Chopped Jalapeños and Banana Peppers fresh or pickled
- 3 stalks Green Onion chopped using both white and green parts
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Granulated White Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Hot Sauce Optional: Sriracha is preferred but Franks, Texas Pete's, Cholula, etc. will do for a substitute.
Instructions
- Gently mix all of these together and allow to sit in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the ingredients' flavor to meld.
Notes
- Always shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded varieties contain anti-caking agents that affect the texture.
- Use room-temperature cheese: For the smoothest blending and best consistency.
- Refrigerate: For two hours before serving to let flavors develop.
- Add extra mayo: One tablespoon at a time if the spread doesn't mix together well.
- Store: In an airtight container and use clean utensils when serving.
