Notes
Recipe was tested in an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven using the "Bake" mode. It’s best to keep an eye on your dip if using a different style oven.
I used a 7-inch Lodge Blacklock Cast Iron which fits perfectly into the Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven.
TIPS:
If you can handle the heat, add some jalapeño seeds to the cheese-jalapeño mixture.
Salt is not included in the recipe due to the abundance of cheddar cheese. If you prefer salty food, use as desired.
