Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Edam cheese cubed
  • 3 tbsp sofrito
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 baguette sliced

Method
 

  1. Saute the sofrito in olive oil for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the tomato sauce and oregano and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the cubed Edam in a small baking dish and pour the sauce over the top.
  4. Bake at 375F for about 12 minutes until the cheese is soft and melty.
  5. Serve warm with sliced baguette for dipping.

Notes

Edam holds its shape when baked, so expect soft melty cubes rather than a full melt.
