Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Peach preserves
- 2 medium Fresh jalapeno peppers
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes if it’s not already softened.
Finely dice the fresh jalapeno peppers. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes before dicing.
Add the softened cream cheese, peach preserves, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the mixing bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until well combined.
Add the diced jalapeno peppers, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Garnish the top with thinly sliced green onions for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately with crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow the spread to come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated.
