Add This Spicy Cheese To Your Eggs To Make Them Way More Interesting - Tasting Table

"The generally creamy and melty texture of Monterey Jack cheese, combined with the pepper flakes in a pepper Jack style, lends itself to seamlessly combining with eggs for a real taste sensation. Shred some from right off the block for optimal meltiness, or use a store-bought bagged version of the shreds for added convenience. Slices of the cheese are even easier to fold into an omelet."

"For the spice-lovers, it's worth noting that the peppers in pepper Jack cheese typically include jalapeños, bell peppers, and sometimes serrano peppers, as well as an addition of dried cayenne pepper to bring the heat. Depending on the variety of pepper Jack cheese you purchase, some could range from milder styles or even include hotter peppers. Scrambles and omelets are a great start, but there are a few other dishes to consider if you've got the time."

Pepper Jack cheese combines the creamy, melty texture of Monterey Jack with pepper flakes for spicy flavor. The peppers commonly include jalapeños, bell peppers, sometimes serrano, and dried cayenne for heat. Pepper Jack can be shredded from a block, bought pre-shredded, or sliced for easy folding into omelets. The cheese pairs well with scrambled eggs, omelets, deviled eggs, quiches, frittatas, and Southwestern-style bakes. Melting pepper Jack over eggs enhances both taste and texture with a fiery, creamy profile. Varieties range from mild to hot depending on the peppers used. Use slices, shreds, or melted layers to finish egg dishes.
