Jalapeno Popper Dip Recipe

Creamy, cheesy and with a nice kick of heat from jalapeños, this Jalapeño Popper Dip is the stuff that snack monsters dream of!

Whereas most recipes are made using modern jalapeños, I make mine with canned on account of I uncover that the slight tang of pickled jalapeños is good to cut through the richness of the creamy dip. Serving it in a bread bowl is non-obligatory. Skip it for those who want to steer clear of a brawl when everyone fights over who will get the dip soaked crust – arguably the BEST half!!

Jalapeno Popper Dip

My very favourite recipes are these with Meals Reminiscences, and this one is my latest and largest one, concocted after my last journey to the States last month. 

Meals working a weblog as a job is significantly distinctive. You’ll roll away from bed and work all day in your PJ’s. You’ll work from anyplace. It’s completely unglamorous and my kitchen begins daily good and clear nevertheless my 11 am seems like a battle zone.

And your colleagues, your of us you are employed with, research from and neighborhood with, they’re in every single place, all through this huge in depth world. Isn’t the net an beautiful issue? 🙂

Nevertheless on the flip aspect, no matter how superior know-how will get, it will not ever change meeting people in precise life. I firmly think about that, and that’s why I’ve come out from behind my keyboard and made the difficulty to satisfy completely different meals bloggers particularly individual.

My first foray into this was when I organised a meals bloggers conference in LA in November 2015. After which I went once more to LA last month to spend time with buddies and likewise for a small gathering {{of professional}} bloggers from Canada and all through America.

Say HI to my buddies, Meggan from Culinary Hill, Jen from Carlsbad Cravings, Holly from Spend With Pennies, Rachael from Eazy Peazy Meals and Chelsea from Chelsea’s Messy Kitchen!

Our gathering was hosted by an beautiful resort in LA referred to as Terranea Resort. There aren’t ample phrases to let you know the way great our experience was. Luxurious accomodation however a “home away from home” actually really feel. Impeccable, nice service. Set correct on the coast and appears like a private tropical escape, and however it’s merely 15 miles from LAX.

And the FOOD!!! The meals, the meals, the meals! Each little factor from great consuming to the casual espresso retailer, we couldn’t get ample of it! (We really tried though 🙂 )

So. So much. GREAT. FOOD!!! I can really say that it is unusual to spend 4 days at a resort and say that there was not a single chew that I didn’t love (and there have been many bites of many points!).

Nevertheless when it acquired right here to recreating one issue as soon as I obtained home which will remind me always of my time at Terranea, there was no rivalry: this Jalapeño Popper Dip.

For this cheese loving, snack obsessed Carb Monster, it was a winner from the first chew. It’s warmth and cheesy with just a bit kick of heat from chopped up gadgets of Jalapeño. It’s principally a dip sort of Jalapeño Poppers (jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, coated with breadcrumbs then deep fried. SO GOOD!!!).

As you probably can see from the image above, the Terranea mannequin is a bit orange which I imagine is from American Cheddar Cheese which is further orange than yellow (which is what we have proper right here in Australia). Moreover, I wanted to make mine with a cream cheese base which bakes up beautifully on account of I wanted to bake mine inside the bread bowl WITH a panko breadcrumb topping. For the full Jalapeño Popper experience, I actually really feel a breadcrumb topping is essential!

Have you ever ever obtained a mannequin of Jalapeño Popper Dip? I would like to take heed to about yours, in case you do!! I have to say, I really cherished listening to about everyone’s deal with Chili / Chilli Con Carne and the opposite methods you serve it. Due to everyone who joined in the dialog. 🙂

Hope you might need an beautiful weekend! Oh – and for these inside the States, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Ingredients

• 6 oz / 180g Philadelphia cream cheese , at room temperature
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp each onion powder and garlic powder (or 1 tsp of one of these)
• 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (or tasty, Monterey Jack or other flavoured cheese)
• 3/4 cup grated Mozzarella Cheese
• 3/4 - 1 cup canned jalapeños , drained and finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Pepper
• 1 Cob Bread (round loaf 25cm / 10" diameter) (optional)
• 1 tbsp butter , melted
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
2. Cut the top off the bread, use a small knife to cut a ring and pull out the bread to form a bowl (leaving a 1cm / 1/2" border/crust). Place bread on foil.
3. Mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream. Add remaining Dip ingredients, mix combine. Pour into bread bowl.
4. Mix together butter and panko. Sprinkle over top of dip.
5. Wrap bread in foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then roll foil edges down and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes until the panko is golden, the dip is bubbling and the bread is golden (insert knife into centre to ensure it is hot). (Note 1)
6. Serve with corn chips and the bread pulled out of the bread bowl (cut into chunks. Toasting is optional)

Notes

1. I found the bake time was 15 minutes LONGER when I made this using a sourdough bread because it is denser so it took longer for the middle of the dip to heat up. If you get impatient, just pop it in the microwave (after baking it). The bread stays crispy but the inside gets molten very quickly. I did this when I made it a couple of weeks ago, it was actually rather handy to speed up the bake time. Also remember that if the wall of the bread bowl is thicker, it will take longer to bake.
Note the Cob bread shown in the photos is smaller than what I usually use because for some weird reason, both bakeries were sold out of normal round Cobs on the day I made this for the photo so I had to make do with a slightly smaller one. So I had excess dip which I just popped into a ramekin.
2. BAKING DISH: This can be made in a baking dish if you prefer. It does not need to be covered and will only take around 25 minutes in the oven until it is golden brown on top and bubbling.
3. Nutrition per serving, assuming 10 servings (about 1/3 cup per person). Dip only, no chips.
