Truffled Cheddar Queso Fundido w/Mushrooms

A California twist on a Mexican classic using Fiscalini Farmstead’s Truffle Cheddar Cheese, this recipe for Mexico’s take on cheese fondue is great served with baguette slices or warm tortillas.

(SERVES 6 )

3-4 tbsp. olive oil

1/2 Spanish white onion, diced

2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced finely

Salt and pepper to taste

Jalapeño, sliced paper thin (optional)

Chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish

6 oz Fiscalini Farms Truffle Cheddar, grated* and at room temperature

*Chef's tip: to more easily grate cheese, put it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until it gets just a bit hard but not completely frozen. A box grater works best.
