Ingredients:

1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

1 medium jalapeno, sliced really thin

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350º. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a metal cookie sheet. DO NOT use a silicone sheet, waxed paper or foil (unless it’s the special non-stick foil) to bake these or they will not cook properly.

2. Using a tablespoon, scoop up 1 T. of cheese and make a small pile on the parchment. Press it slightly flat. Repeat 15 more times. Place a slice of jalapeno on top of each pile.

3. Pop into 350º oven for about 10-12 minutes. Recommend browning them a wee bit more than shown in the photo for a firmer snack to serve at parties. These are somewhat pliable if under browned. Allow them to completely cool and fully firm up before removing from the pan for best results.

Bon Appetit!
