• 1/2 tablespoon butter

Recipe

• 1 note: if you really can't handle the heat of rotel, just use plain ole tomatoes. you might also toss in a bit of onion or substitute mild salsa for the tomatoes. it's all up to you depending on your heat tolerance. also, if you're serving this at a party, keep it hot in a fondue pot!
• 2 melt the butter in the top of a double boiler over direct heat (if you are using raw onion) and sauté until transparent. if not, skip this step.
• 3 place the double boiler over hot water; melt the butter and add the cheese; stir constantly until cheese is melted.
• 4 mix beaten egg, salt, and corn and stir into the cheese. add the tomatoes and crumbs.
• 5 allow the mixture to heat through and serve with toast or chips.
