Ingredients Ingredients 1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded 1 large jalapeño pepper, fresh Preparation Pre-heat your Daytona™ Flat Top Griddle to medium heat. Core your jalapeño pepper by slicing it lengthwise, then scraping the seeds out using a spoon. Cut the de-seeded jalapeño into thin slices. Grate your sharp cheddar cheese. Alternatively, skip this step by buying it pre-shredded. However, we prefer the flavor and texture of freshly shredded cheddar. Cooking Instructions 1 Spoon 16 heaps of shredded sharp cheddar cheese onto your pre-heated griddle top. 2 Gently flatten the cheese mounds using the back of the spoon, leaving them at least one inch apart. 3 Add sliced jalapeño peppers to the centers of the cheese piles. 4 Close your griddle’s lid and allow the cheese to turn brown and crispy, forming crunchy disks. This should take around 12 minutes. 5 Use a spatula to remove the disks from the griddle and allow them to cool down for a few minutes. 6 Move the cooled disks over onto a platter and serve.
