Cookbook:Chupaqueso

Chupaquesos ("suck cheese") are a cheesy dish invented by Howard Tayler in his webcomic, Schlock Mercenary. The basic idea is to fry cheese until it reaches a rubbery consistency, then cover that rubbery layer with cheese and toppings, then fold it into a tube.

Ingredients

 * About 3 oz (85 g) shredded "shell" cheese (e.g. cheddar)
 * About 1 oz (28 g) shredded "filler" cheese (e.g. parmesan, Monterey Jack)
 * Example toppings:
 * Bacon
 * Chopped cold cuts
 * Banana peppers
 * Chili peppers
 * Marinated mushrooms
 * Marinara sauce

Procedure

 * 1) In a medium-large non-stick or cast-iron skillet, sprinkle the "shell" cheese evenly. It will melt and bubble, and eventually form a layer of cheese.
 * 2) Once the underside is orange or brown colored, flip it over.
 * 3) Sprinkle the filler cheese down the middle, and put whatever toppings you want down the middle.
 * 4) Fold the shell over, and let it cook long enough to melt the filler cheese if desired.
 * 5) Serve and eat right away.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * It's advisable to get the toppings ready in advance—it's a time-critical procedure once the cheese is flipped.
