Baked Cheddar Jalapeño Dip with Panko Topping
This baked dip blends canned jalapeños with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, cheddar, and spices, topped with a crunchy panko, parmesan, and green onion crust. Baking melts the cheeses into a creamy base with rich, smoky heat, while the buttery panko topping becomes golden and crisp. It’s suited for serving warm as a flavorful appetizer or party dip.
Ingredients
- 4 oz jalapeños canned and drained
- 8 oz cream cheese ⅓ lightened
- 1 cup yogurt Two Good, plain, Greek
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
For the Panko Topping
- 1 cup panko crumbs
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- ¼ cup parmesan
- ¼ cup green onion sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Drain canned jalapeños and add to a mixing bowl with cream cheese, plain greek yogurt, garlic powder, paprika, and sriracha.
- Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together. Add in cheddar cheese and stir to combine
- In another mixing bowl, add melted butter, Panko crumbs, parmesan, and green onion. Stir together until the Panko crumbs have absorbed the butter.
- Grease a baking dish (I used a 8” skillet) and pour the dip into it. Add the panko crumble evenly distributed on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the dip is hot throughout. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end to get an ooey, gooey, golden, baked beauty of a dip!!!
Notes
- Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheat gently in the microwave.
- Modify the heat level by using more or less sriracha according to your preference.
- Adding fresh jalapeños can increase the spicy kick beyond the canned version.
