A savory dip topped with pepper jelly, perfect for appetizers.
Equipment
- microwave-safe dish
- pie dish
Ingredients
- 10 ounce pepper jelly use whatever heat level you prefer
- 8 ounce cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 0.5 cup chopped green onions divided use
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika optional
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Heat up 10 ounce jar pepper jelly in a microwave-safe dish for 10-second increments until it is not so thick and can be spread over the cream cheese smoothly. Set aside.
- In a pie dish (or similarly sized oven safe dish) add 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Mix until smooth and combined.
- Then stir in ¼ cup green onions. Spread the cream cheese mixture so it is evenly spread out in the pie dish.
- Wipe the edges of the pie dish so it is clean from the cream cheese.
- Top the cream cheese mixture with the warmed pepper jelly so all of the cream cheese is covered.
- Bake for about 7-8 minutes or until the dip is hot.
- Top with the remainder ¼ cup of the green onions. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.
