Ingredients:

– 8 oz cream cheese, softened

– 1 cup sour cream

– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

– 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese

– 6 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped (adjust to desired heat level)

– 3 green onions, thinly sliced

– 1/4 cup canned diced green chilies, drained

– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

– 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

– Baguette slices or tortilla chips for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, monterey jack cheese, chopped jalapeños, green onions, and diced green chilies. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Transfer your jalapeño-cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Add the melted butter and stir until all dry ingredients are well-coated.

5. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the jalapeño-cheese mixture in the baking dish.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and the dip is bubbling around the edges.

7. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve alongside baguette slices or tortilla chips for dipping.

Pro-tip: For extra flavor, consider adding a few slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, or a 1/4 cup of corn kernels to the jalapeño-cheese mixture. Customize this dip to your taste preferences and make it your own!
