Ingredients
- 2-3 fresh jalapenos for roasting
- 2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
- 1 4 ounce can diced chilies, drained but not rinsed
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapenos, chopped fine
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs for topping
Directions
1) Preheat your oven's broiler, and set the rack about 6 inches below the element. (a toaster oven is great for this) to roast your peppers. Lay the peppers out on baking sheet leaving some room between them.
2) Rub a little vegetable oil on the peppers and place under the broiler. You will need to keep a close eye on them.
3) When the peppers begin to blacken pull the tray out and turn the peppers. Return to the broiler, repeating until the peppers are nicely blacked all over and softened.
4) Remove the peppers from the tray and immediately place them in a zip top bag and seal. Leave them to cool for about 8-10 minutes. This step is essential to loosening the skin on the peppers.
5) After the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove them from the bag and using a paring knife peel away the blackened skin.
6) Remove the stem and seeds, and finely chop the peppers. If you have sensitive skin, wearing gloves is a good idea for this step. Be careful to wash your hands before touching your face, eyes etc. Peppers can be refrigerated overnight at this point, but it is not necessary.
Preheat oven to 350°.
7) In a large mixing bowl, or in your stand mixer, blend the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and half of the grated cheese until smooth.
8) Stir in the diced chilies, pickled jalapenos and roasted jalapenos. Spread into a 9" glass or ceramic pie plate, or casserole dish.
9) Toss the remaining cheese with the Panko, and sprinkle evenly over the surface of the dip.
10) Bake in pre-heated 350 oven until heated through, about 20-30 minutes. OR microwave for 3-5 minutes until hot. Serve with baked tortilla chips or cheddar cheese crackers.
Reviews
- I had a Wine Wednesday Party with a bunch of my friends and served this Dip. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. It is really easy to make and taste awesome!
- Yum, yum, yum! I made this for a Super Bowl party. It was the first thing the men devoured! Be sure to take the time to roast the peppers. I actually added a couple extra to the recipe. It really adds an extra kick. I served it with whole grain tortilla chips and pita crisps. This will go into my regular rotation for party dips.
- Made this for Superbowl and it was very very good. Easy to make too. I did not seed my peppers and did not find it to be too spicy. It really does taste like poppers! I will make this again as it was a big hit.
- Wow! Made this yesterday for a playoff party and everyone loved it!! Followed another reviewer's suggestion of adding 8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese. Was asked to make it again for the games next weekend. Think I might try making it with sharp or white cheddar to make it slightly different. A definite keeper!!
- Great dip! To make quickly, I bought can of fire-roasted chilis and used about 1 heaping teaspoon...didn't want it too hot. Also, used half parm./half gruyere cheese...panko not necessary but good...omitting it makes this gluten-free. Would definitely make again.

- This was a big hit for a couples get together. There was nothing left to bring home and lots of people wanting the recipe. It tasted just like the hot poppers! I served it with tortilla chips and used shredded parm cheese instead of grated, which was all I had on hand. Roasting the jalapenos seemed like it was going to be labor intensive, but it wasn't. I did have a hard time finding the pickled jalapeno peppers in the store, but they were by the Mexican food, not the pickles.
- Yummy!!!!!!! I made this for football Sunday and it was a huge hit. My hubby really liked it and someone else asked for the recipe. I added Monterrey Jack to the mix as a reviewr recommened and it was perfect, not too spicy, just enough. I will definitely be making this one again.
- Just made this and my hubby loved it. I added 8 oz. of Monterey Jack to the mix though, it was to die for! Thanks so much!
