Ingredients for Bacon Jalapeno Dip

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1/4 cup chopped green chilies (from a can, drained)
  • Pickled Jalapeno Peppers
  • 4-6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • Sourdough Baguettes

How to Make Bacon Jalapeno Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan; reserve 3 tablespoons of cooked bacon, crumble, and set aside for topping.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Stir until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped jalapenos (reserve some for garnish if desired), 1/4 cup chopped green chilies (from a can, drained), and the remaining cooked bacon, mixing well to combine.
  5. Transfer the dip to a 9-inch pie plate or a small, oven-safe baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved 3 tablespoons of crumbled bacon and 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown around the edges. Let cool slightly before serving with baguette slices or your favorite dippers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
