While I was looking into queso fundido for my chorizo queso fundido I came across an idea that nearly floored me, a breakfast queso fundido! Yes, that's right, a hot melted cheese dip for breakfast! I hardly needed an excuse to make it! What makes this a breakfast queso fundido is that it is full of chorizo sausage and scrambled eggs which would make for a great breakfast all by themselves let alone in a hot melted cheese dip! In addition to the chorizo, scrambled eggs and cheese this queso fundido is filled out with some onions, garlic, tomato and a jalapeno for some extra heat! I have to admit that I was a little bit concerned about how scrambled eggs would work in a dip like this but they were a natural fit and they made for one amazingly tasty breakfast! This breakfast queso fundido would be the perfect way to start off the big game day right!

Let them have hot melted cheese dip for breakfast!

I have really been into cauliflower lately and in particular I have been enjoying a lot of bowls of the roasted cauliflower and aged white cheddar soup which have been keeping me warm on these cold winter days. With the big game coming up I have had snacks on my mind a lot and one of my favourite snacks for for any kind of party has to be hot melted cheese dips like the spinach and artichoke dip. The other day while I was enjoying a bowl of the roasted cauliflower and aged white cheddar soup I was thinking about dips and I had a crazy idea, why not combine the two ideas and make a hot melted cheesy cauliflower dip? The recipe for the dip is pretty easy, you just need to roast the cauliflower, puree it, mix in the cheese and then bake it until the cheese is all melted, bubbling and golden brown. I have to say that this dip is another reason to love cauliflower!

I am really into serving hot cheesy dips at parties and the classic, hot spinach and artichoke dip, is one of my goto recipes and with good reason! But, what if you are craving for that hot spinach and artichoke dip but want something a little lighter? How about a spinach and artichoke hummus with all of the flavours of original with none of the regret? Hummus is nice and smooth and creamy and a great replacement for the cheese base of the original dip and it is much healthier to boot! I do like to add a touch of parmesan or asiago to pack in even more flavour and some umami kick but it is completely optional and it can easily be omitted for a vegan version. This spinach and artichoke hummus is a perfect option for your game day party if you are looking for something lighter or looking for something vegetarian or vegan without sacrificing anything in the way of flavour!
