Jalapeno Popper Dip with Bacon
Description
This dip combines softened cream cheese and either mayonnaise or sour cream whipped until smooth, providing a creamy base. Shredded cheddar cheese, fresh diced jalapeños (with ribs and seeds removed if a milder heat is desired), and cooked crumbled bacon are mixed in to create layers of cheesy, spicy, and smoky flavors.
Once assembled in a baking dish, a crumbly topping made from panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and melted butter is sprinkled over the dip. Baking at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes produces a golden, crunchy crust that contrasts the creamy filling beneath.
Optional garnishes of additional bacon, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro add texture, freshness, and visual appeal. The dip is best served immediately while warm and perfect for serving with crackers, chips, or vegetable dippers.
