Hot Pepper Cheese Recipe Notes:
Ingredient Notes: *
To me this recipe is not too spicy. The amount of cherry and Calabrian chili peppers included here provides a nice hint of spiciness that is not too overwhelming. Of course, if you do not like spicy, you can reduce the amount of peppers. Or if you love spicy, you can always add more!
Instruction Notes: **
For serving, you can top with some Cherry peppers and Calabrian chili peppers.
This will take around 5 minutes until the spread gets very smooth. The time will depend on your particular food processor that you are using.
