3/4 lb good quality white american cheese (pay extra for the good stuff), chopped

1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
chopped cilantro, tomatoes, and jalapeños for garnish

Heat ½ and ½ over medium heat in a medium sized non-stick skillet.
Once simmering (don't allow to boil), reduce heat to low and stir in the cheese.
Stir constantly until fully melted.
Stir in the jalapeños, cumin, nutmeg, red pepper, and salt and pepper.
Place skillet in the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble and brown (optional)
Top with cilantro, tomatoes, and more jalapeños if desired.
Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
(Dip can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Microwave with a splash of half and half or milk to keep it creamy)
