Jalapeño Popper Appetizer



This appetizer has the delicious taste of the stuffed jalapeno poppers in an easy to make dip/spread.  If you want to increase the hotness, add more of the jalapeno peppers.  I like to bake it rather than microwave it, unless I am just re-heating it.  The oven toasts the bread crumbs that give it a nice crunch.  You can make this a day or two before and refrigerate, then just pop it in the oven to heat.    Enjoy!





         2-8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened               2 oz can diced jalapeño peppers, drained

         1 c mayonnaise                                              1 c grated Parmesan cheese

         4 oz can chopped green chilies, drained        ½ c bread crumbs



Mix cream cheese and mayo in large bowl until smooth.  Stir in green chilies, jalapeño peppers and Parmesan cheese.  Pour into 8” x 8” dish and sprinkle top with bread crumbs.  Bake at 375° for about 30 minutes till bubbly & light brown or microwave on high until hot, about 3 minutes.  Serve with toasted French bread slices, toasted baguette slices or pita chips.
