pay de queso (mexican "cheesecake")
(1)
This recipe was given to me by my Mexican "mom" Redi, the mother of an exchange student I went to school with. Ninive, the exchange student, and I became great friends while she was here in the US and I have been to Mexico several times to visit her family.
I loved the texture of Pay de Queso and requested it on every trip to Mexico. Redi happily obliged and gave me a copy of her family's recipe.
