Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 medium jalapeños diced and seeds removed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the diced jalapeños, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chopped cilantro, black pepper, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. You can use a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden on top. To achieve a crispier top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can garnish with additional cilantro or sliced jalapeños if desired.
  • Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Jalapeño Popper Dip!

Notes

Tip 1: Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your spice preference.
Tip 2: This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator; just bake it before serving.
Variation: For a twist, add crumbled bacon or chorizo for extra flavor.
