I came across a killer recipe on a scrapbooking site! If you like poppers....those little fried jalapeno peppers filled with cream cheese. Well, this recipe is a twist on that little tasty appetizer. The recipe I used came from Allrecipes so I can't take claim from such an ingenious idea. Enjoy!
Jalapeno Popper Spread
2- 8oz cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (4oz) can chopped green chilis, drained
2 oz canned diced jalapeno peppers, drained
1 c grated parmesan cheese
optional add ins: shredded mexican flavored cheese, top with crushed crackers
Stir together cream cheese and mayonnaise into large bowl. Stir in green chilis and jalapeno peppers. Pour mixture into a microwave safe serving dish and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
microwave on high until hot, about 3 minutes.
I added finely shredded mexican cheese and I also read of someone topping it with crushed cracker crumbs which would be more like the poppers you buy or eat for appetizers in restaurants. I served them with the chips pictured. I also could not buy chopped jalapeno peppers so I bought the ones that are pickled with carrots and onions. I used the whole can and it was a bit too much heat for my whimpy tastebuds so use as many peppers as you would like according to taste. This is an outstanding recipe that I had never tasted before.
