Superbowl is coming up soon ... what are you making for appetizers? I have a suggestion. JALAPENO POPPER DIP. It's the deliciousness of jalapeno popper flavor, without the hassle of having to make 235 of them individually. I got this recipe from Closet Cooking, and I thought it turned out pretty well! His final product picture is a billion times better than mine. No seriously, look at it.
You'll need.... (for my version)...
- 1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup of mayo
- 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 can (4oz) pickled jalapenos
- 1 can (4oz) green chilies
- 2 fresh jalapenos, diced
and for the topping, 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs and another 1/4 cup of grated parmesean cheese
OK! Let's get going.
Chop up the peppers so they are diced pretty fine. I like having a bit of pepper in each bite. You'll then want to put the peppers, cream cheese, chedder, parmesan, and mayo into a large bowl.
Once everything is mixed together, smooth it out into an oven safe bowl or platter. I used this bowl, but I think I would use a shallower one next time, the dip was a little hard to get to. I don't like to work hard for my food.
Mix together the remaining parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. You may want to mix just a splash of olive oil in there too, just to let it brown up really nice on the top when you bake it. Sprinkle this mix on top of the dip, and bake it at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until the top is browning up!
At this point I was 4 beers in the bag at a hockey party (Canadians are hilarious), so I neglected to get an action shot so you could really see the final product. It was pretty good though! I would definitely make this again, adding the olive oil to the top so it crisps up a bit more of course.
