Cheese and Jalapeno Appetizer

June 28, 2019

 

 

Summer is all about BBQ’s and drinks on the patio. And, if there are drinks I have to have a few of my go-to appetizers. My girlfriends know I need something cheesy if we plan a girls’ night. Up until a few weeks ago, I had a rotation of appetizers that included cream cheese, artichokes, avocados and queso. And, then I found a cheese and jalapeno appetizer that earned a coveted spot in my appetizer queue.

Recently I found this blogger who has, well, a great blog. When I read the short ingredient list for this cheese and jalapeno recipe I knew I found a great resource for new recipes (and design ideas).

The short ingredient list: 

  •    2 packages cream cheese softened
  •    1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  •    1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix 
  •    1 large red pepper finely diced   
  •    5 jalapeno peppers seeded and finely diced
  •    1 bag Tostitos Scoop chip 
 
Combine ingredients and serve with your favorite hefty chips!

I made this cheese and jalapeno appetizer for a Cinco de Mayo party and it was a hit. This appetizer requires a knife to scoop and a sturdy tortilla chip or Triscuit to handle the weight of the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese and the heat from the jalapeno peppers.

And as if it couldn’t get any better I found the cutest white ceramic dish at our neighborhood Bundt Shoppe. Every time I go in there to buy a dozen mini bundts I buy a little something from their expanding decor section.

I bought the same dish a few weeks ago for a friend’s birthday (who shares my love of appetizers). And, then a few days ago I totally scored my own Mud Pie ceramic dish when I ran in to buy mini bundts.

With a Mother’s Day sale, I saved 25% off the cutest appetizer inspired dish.

I now have my own queso emergency dish and if it’s filled with jalapenos and cheese no one will know until they scrape the bottom of the dish. I think this dish is a sign to double the ingredients and host a girls night!
