[Cheese] Queso Fresco Cheese

I have been trying to make the white queso dip like you get in the Mexican restaurants. I bought a round circle of queso fresco cheese but when i try to melt it. It just stays mostly solid. Do i need to add milk, oil or something like that? What am I doing wrong or do i have even have the right cheese? Thanks in advance.

tempered milk

dont use queso fresco, use asadero or manchengo

good luck melting queso fresco :lol:

You can melt it, but it doesnt stay melted for long -

Recently I stuffed some Poblano peppers with Queso Fresco and topped with some smoked pickled red onions...good shit.

that sounds delicious. did you roast the poblano's?

and usually i hear the stuffed peppers w/ cream cheese.

the pickled red onion sounds delicious on that though

Yessir - Roasted the poblano's on the BBQ to par cook them and get the char flavour.

Cream cheese - NASTY, and def not authentic! heh.

I love pickling shit - pickled red onions are easy - slice and heavily salt onions, put in siv and put some weight on em to get rid of moisture - rinse off with vinegar - put in a jar with whatever seasoning you like - basic = sugar, salt, jalapeno peppers & white vinegar.

for smoked pickled red onions, I add spanish smoked paprika.

queso quesadilla for some cool gooeyness
