Squares Recipe » Cheese Squares Appetizer

This is a wonderful baked appetizer blending the tastes of Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. The amount of jalapenos used can easily be adjusted to personal taste, although baking does take a lot of the burn out of the peppers. I've made this several times and I never have leftovers. My husband wishes I would make these for him every day. I don't recommend doubling the recipe; make multiple batches instead.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon minced onion
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3. Bake in the preheated oven until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes; cut into squares to serve.
