  About 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  Salt and pepper

 1/2 pound asadero or jack cheese, shredded

Bake in a 325° oven until center feels firm when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes (about 20 minutes in a convection oven). Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheese and bake just until it begins to melt, 3 to 4 minutes more (1 to 2 minutes in a convection oven). Remove from oven and let stand in pan until warm, at least 15 minutes, or until cool. Cut into 1-inch pieces and arrange on a platter.
