Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces diced jalapeno peppers drained
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces diced green chilies
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking dish
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise, stirring until completely blended and smooth.
  3. Fold in the diced green chilies and drained, diced jalapeño peppers, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized baking dish, preferably one that's shallow and wide.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the dip.
  6. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the parmesan top has turned golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

For a milder dip, make sure to remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before dicing. Conversely, leave some seeds in if you prefer more heat.
This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking. If baking from cold, you may need to add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
