Top to bottom, my fellow vacationers really enjoyed The Internet Cooking Princess's Jalapeno Black-Eyed Pea Fondue. The chile added a new dimension that had people murmuring, 'What's IN this; it tastes so different and good!" I was a little concerned because my black-eyed peas immediately sank to the bottom, but I needn't have worried. Everyone's favorite part was scooping out the cheesy beans at the end with tortilla chips! The only change I would make is to use a bit less wine; the pinot grigio I had on hand was a tad overpowering. - wssmom

Where I come from, we call this queso. However, I decided to throw in a little gruyere and white wine to make it what I think qualifies as fondue. Assemble some cubed French bread, veggies, tortilla chips, and rolled serrano ham and dip to your heart's content. (Or, go raclette style and pour the cheese over your accoutrements.) - The Internet Cooking Princess

Can't wait to try this one. I grew up eating black eyed peas on New Years Day only. I love the taste of black eyed peas. I bet the jalapeno is the perfect addition!

Yikes! I made a major typo in this recipe. It's ONE cup of black-eyed peas. (Not three.) And, I add the juice of one lemon and whisk in before serving to cut through the richness of the cheese.
