What is Cheese Dip?
Cheese dip in the modern sense probably originates in recipes for dishes like fondue, where crusty squares of bread are dipped into hot melted cheese. Usually, though, dips made from cheese are more likely to be served at room temperature, and are not made in the same manner as fondue which frequently includes wine. One exception is fundido or queso blanco, a Mexican cheese dish that may have bits of sausage in it and is served hot with tortilla chips. It has become increasingly popular in the US and is a good replacement for cheese dip made from cheddar, or more often, American cheese.
