Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup green olives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit jalapeño (optional), finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional), chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix them together using a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green olives, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
If using jalapeño, fold it into the mixture for an added spicy kick.
Transfer the dip mixture to a small, oven-safe dish and spread it out evenly.
Place the dish under a preheated broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the top turns golden and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid over-browning.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm with crackers, chips, fresh vegetables, or toasted baguette slices.
