Spicy Beer Cheese Dip

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all­purpose flour
• ⅔ cup whole milk
• ⅔ cup pilsner or light beer
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 dashes of Worchestershire
• ½ jalapeno, deseeded and diced, plus a few more slices as garnish
• 1 egg yolk
• ¾ cup (about 3 1/2 ounces) shredded monterey jack
• ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
• Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

1. 1
   To a medium saucepan, set over medium heat, melt the butter. When melted, stir in the all­purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute.
2. 2
   Pour in the milk and whisk until combined and thickened, about 30 seconds to a 1 minute.
3. 3
   Pour in the beer and, again, give it a good whisk. Cook the sauce for an additional minute or so. During this time it will thicken slightly.
4. 4
   Mix in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, jalapeño, egg yolk; stir until combined. Then, add the shredded cheese and mix until melted. Give it a taste and adjust the salt to your liking (I needed about 1/4 teaspoon of salt).
5. 5
   Pour the beer cheese into a serving bowl, garnish with a few slices of jalapeño and serve alongside tortilla chips.
