Three Cheese Roasted Jalapeño Popper Dip

Three Cheese Roasted Jalapeño Popper Dip

This recipe is a super duper easy dip that is SURE to impress your guests. It’s got not one, not two, but THREE cheeses in it, and it takes advantage of the incredible flavors of roasted jalapeno. You can add as many jalapenos as you want and keep or discard the seeds, so the amount of spice is totally in your control. Whipping up the cheeses in the food processor really helps bring out their flavor and gives it a delicious, easily dippable texture. The feta is salty and tangy, the cream cheese is rich, and the parmesan is nutty, salty, and super savory. I add even more flavor to really pack a punch, with garlic powder and smoked paprika, and of course, those delicious, charred jalapenos.

This dip is perfect for a Superbowl party, or really any gameday, and since the only thing I care about at any sporting event is the food, trust me when I tell you it’s the perfect thing to bring. You can even make this hours, or even a day, before your event and broil it just before your guests arrive. I may not be team whoever is playing, but I AM team Three Cheese Roasted Jalapeno Popper Dip!


1. No to Jalapeños?

You can always use less jalapeno and/or remove the seeds to knock the spice back, but you could also roast a milder pepper, like a poblano, and still get lots of delicious, charred pepper flavor without nearly as much heat.

2. Room Temperature Cheeses

Getting the feta and cream cheese to room temperature before putting them in the food processer is KEY to getting a great, whipped, dippable texture!


3. Make Ahead

Once assembled, this dip holds very well. You can make it hours or even a day ahead of your event, then broil it until it’s hot and bubbly right before your guests arrive!
