ALTERNATIVES

  1. 1

    Make cheese crisps

    Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Spoon an even mound of shredded cheddar (about 1 cup) onto the hot pan and press into a 6–7 inch circle. Cook until the edges turn golden and the center sets, 2–4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook 1–2 minutes more if you want a thinner crisp, then transfer to a plate to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare cheese filling

    In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, chopped chives, minced jalapeño (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Assemble folded crisp

    If you created a single large disc, place a generous spoonful of the filling along one edge of the crisp and fold the other edge over to form a half-moon. If you made two discs, spread filling on one disc and top with the second disc, pressing edges to seal.

  4. 4

    Finish and serve

    Return the folded crisp to the pan for 1 minute per side to warm through and help seal the fold. Remove to a cutting board, let rest 1–2 minutes, then slice in half and serve with salsa or a dipping sauce.
