Smokey jalapeno cheese squares appetizer

[scooter]

I've been lookin for another appetizer to make other than the usual suspects. Found this in my "BBQ Makes Everything Better" cookbook. It's really simple and has only a few ingredients, makes a bunch and the best part is it tastes fantastic!! Somehow most of the heat from the peppers were gone after baking. Only a nice gentle heat was left.

13x9 pan
8 eggs
16 oz bottle of sliced pickled jalapenos, drained and coursely chopped
2lbs cheddar shredded
Tapatio Sauce (My addition)
Ancho chili powder (My addition)
Pictures below are me doing a 1/2 recipe to test it out first.

Cut up the japs and place on the bottom, shred the cheese and place over the japs

Beat the eggs and mix in a tablespoon or more of Tapatio sauce (or to taste) then pour evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle some ancho chili powder over the top for some color (ya'll know how Spark is always talkin how it's all about the color?? Well, he's right). Then place in your smoker at 350 for 45 mins or until the cheese is melted all the way through.

Oh yeah!! Cheesy jalapeno goodness!! Let it cool down

Slice it into squares and chow down. Betcha can't eat just one!!

So there it is! Smokey Jalapeno Cheese squares. Very simple and delish! Guaranteeed.

It is! and like BP said, you can take the egg/cheese in many different directions. The recipe is just the starting point, your imagination is the limit with this one.
