Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 medium jalapeños, diced (fresh or pickled)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish or oven-safe skillet and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until the crumbs are well-coated.
Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the dip mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
Let the dip cool for 5-7 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.
