Equipment

  • 1 stovetop
  • 1 pan

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup olve oil
  • ½ small white onion minced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 10 oz Manchego cheese coarsely shredded
  • 10 oz Queso Quesadilla coarsely shredded
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 2 jalapeno peppers de-seeded (1 chopped and 1 cut into rounds)

Instructions

Add both cheeses slowly, about one cupful at a time and whisking constantly allowing it to become blended and smooth between additions.
