Baked Queso Recipe

Baked Queso

5 from 1 vote
This baked queso is my Mexican twist on the classic baked brie. It's warm, soft, and perfect as an appetizer—or even as the star of your next charcuterie board. 
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (10 oz) queso panela or fresco, cold
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • Non-stick spray

Accompaniments 

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly spray an oven-safe baking dish—just slightly larger than the cheese—with non-stick spray. 
  • Pat the cheese dry with paper towels, then place it in the center of the dish. Pour the salsa verde around the cheese, being careful not to pour it directly on top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is warmed through and the salsa is bubbling.
  • Switch the oven to broil (high) and broil for 2–5 minutes, just until the top of the cheese blisters and develops golden brown spots.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with pico de gallo and a side of corn tortilla chips.
