Jalapeño Popper Dip
by Rachael Ray | on 09/08/09
Ingredients
- 8 jalapeños, halved and seeded
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 2 8-ounce blocks cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
- Assorted dippers - veggis, chips, pretzels, whatever you like
Serves 6-8 as a dip
Preparation
Pre-heat a broiler or grill to medium-high.
Toss the jalapeño halves with the EVOO and roast under the broiler or char on the grill until softened and blackened, about 3 minutes per side.
Turn the oven to 400ºF. Let the peppers cool enough to handle them, then chop them up.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, half of the cheddar and all of the chopped roasted peppers. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the remaining shredded cheese and crushed chips. Bake the dip until golden brown and bubbly, 15-18 minutes.
Serve with assorted dippers alongside.
