Extra sharp cheddar block grated with piqillo peppers for pimento. Heated in the microwave and served with blue corn tortilla chips. It is fabulous! The yogurt adds a great tang.

WOW! Everyone really loved this, one of my go to recipes for watching Football on Sundays. I used Alpine cheddar as one of my selections and it was awesome.
