Jalapeno Popper Dip

My favorite recipe of 2010, so good that I wish I discovered it in 2009. This delish recipe is definately a keeper, a crowd pleaser and a good teaser. Just the name of it...jalapeno popper dip, makes your mouth water. I have yet to meet someone who didn't love a jalapeno popper! Most poppers are frozen and deep fried and served as bar/grills or in your grocery food store in the frozen aisles, hardly anyone I know would ever take the time to make a homeade popper (myself included). Anything stuffed, battered and deep fried sounds like a real nightmare to prepare (especially working with a jalapeno...those mother's can get caliente!) This dip is the best alternative to the actual jalapeno popper because it tastes exactly like a popper, and smells exactly like a popper except it's easy to prepare ~ YUM!

Here is the recipe:


1 block cream cheese (room temp)
1/2 cup mayo ( i like helmans with olive oil)
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated parm cheese
4 oz diced jalapenos (canned or jarred)
bread crumbs (I make my own seasoned bread crumbs mixed with fresh herbs and grated parm cheese!)

mix EVERYTHING together, top with bread crumbs and xtra parm cheese then place in a small baking dish - cook for 15 min on 350.

This is serious yummy food! You will definately want to make a double batch if you are taking this dip to a party. It will be the STAR dip!!! It's DELISH :)

Oh...I served my dip with Tostitos Lime corn chips and it was a divine combo!!!
