Jalapeño Popper Dip
Description
This dip blends softened cream cheese and mayonnaise with smoky bacon pieces, heat from fresh or canned jalapeños, minced garlic, ground cumin, and sharp cheddar cheese. The ingredients meld into a creamy mixture that forms the base of the dip placed in a baking dish.
A crumbly topping made from panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and melted butter is spread evenly over the top. Baking the dish produces a crisp, golden crust with a bubbling interior, balancing creamy texture with a crunchy topping.
Jalapeño Popper Dip is served warm, commonly alongside tortilla chips, crackers, or assorted vegetables, making it suitable as an appetizer or party snack that offers a mix of spicy and savory flavors alongside crunchy and creamy textures.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 8 pieces Bacon cooked and chopped
- 6 jalapeños seeded and minced (if you can't get fresh, substitute a 4-ounce can diced jalapeño peppers, drained)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese shredded (about 1½ cups)
Topping:
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, bacon, jalapenos, garlic, cumin and cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl. Transfer the mixture into 2-quart baking dish.
- Combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and melted butter in a small bowl, tossing with a fork until the mixture is evenly moistened. Sprinkle evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, crackers, vegetables, etc.
Notes
- Use fresh jalapeños if possible; canned diced jalapeños are a suitable substitute after draining.
- Allow dip to rest 5 minutes after baking to firm up before serving.
- Pair with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
