Ok. So the picture doesn’t do justice to this wonderful dip. It is creamy and cheesy with a nice mild bite and tang from the jalapenos. Just like jalapeno poppers. Good stuff here.
I made this dip for a girls trip to Gruene for a weekend of fun, food, cocktails and shopping. Officially a weekend of shopping at the outlet mall nearby…but it’s always so great to spend time with fun ladies and turn this trip into a weekend getaway. So much fun.
So….here’s to my wanna-be sister Becky, adorable Cindy, Spon and non-spon…..ok, so one is named Christy and the other is Kristy and you know that everyone has to have a nickname, so…… Kristy is the spontaneous one and Christy has to have a month’s notice….for dinner outside her home. AND, to Spon’s sweet sisters, Kathy, Kasey and Kerri. SO much fun that weekend!!! Love y’all!!!
Jalapeno Popper Dip
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2-3/4 cup cheddar, grated
- 1/2-1 cup Parmesan or Italian blend
- 4 oz can pickled jalapeno, sliced
- Topping…
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4-1/2 cup Parmesan/Italian blend
Directions:
-
Mix cream cheese and mayo till fluffy, then add jalapenos with juice, then add cheddar and Parmesan… mixing well. I like a lot of cheese, so I add the maximum amounts given here. Try it for taste, adding garlic salt if needed. Spread into shallow baking dish.
-
Mix bread crumbs with the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the top. Bake at 375 until bubbly and golden, about 10-15 minutes. Or, if you’re impatient like me, the microwave does a pretty good job.

Enjoy!!
