Description
Jalapeno Mexican Fudge is a rich, cheesy baked casserole that combines sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses with spicy pickled jalapenos for a flavorful dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Cheddar cheese (mild or medium), grated
- 2 lbs Monterrey Jack cheese, grated
- 7 whole eggs, beaten
- 7 oz cream or evaporated milk (just a little over 3/4 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 jar (12 oz) pickled, sliced jalapenos, drained
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Spread the sliced pickled jalapenos evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses with the beaten eggs, cream or evaporated milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the jalapeno layer in the pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the fudge to cool for at least 20 minutes.
- For a 9×9-inch pan, adjust ingredients and bake for 25 to 35 minutes.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapenos to control the heat level.
- For best slicing results, let the fudge cool completely.
