  • 1 tablespoon jalapeño brine
  • ½ cup red bell pepper (50 g), diced
  • ½ cup green bell pepper (50 g), diced

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g), divided

  1. Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and cook until softened and spreadable, about 3 minutes.
