Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Jalapeno jelly
- 12 pieces Crackers or bread
- 1 piece Fresh jalapeno (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from its packaging and place it on a serving plate or dish. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make spreading easier.
Spoon the jalapeno jelly over the top of the cream cheese, letting it drape over the sides for an attractive presentation.
If desired, thinly slice the fresh jalapeno and sprinkle it on top of the jelly as a garnish.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or cilantro around the edges for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately with an assortment of crackers or slices of toasted bread on the side.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving again.
