Manchego, an aged sheep’s milk cheese from Spain, is prized for its wonderful flavor (great to munch on its own) and because it melts so smoothly. This is great atop grilled steak or other grilled meats and vegetables.

Ingredient List

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
  • 2 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup shredded Manchego Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Mountain High® original or lowfat plain yoghurt

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in 1 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes or until shallots are softened.
  2. Add chicken broth, whisking well to blend. Add flour and cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Reduce heat to low and add yoghurt. Whisk to combine all ingredients. Serve warm over steak or hot, cooked vegetables.
