Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip is a sweet, spicy, and creamy appetizer featuring a smooth blend of cream cheese and sharp cheddar, topped with vibrant pepper jelly. Perfect for parties, it pairs wonderfully with crackers, toast, or fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 7 oz Pepper jelly
- 8 oz Cream cheese softened
- ½ tsp Salt
- 4 oz Sharp cheddar shredded
- 1 tsp Onion flakes
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion flakes, and salt.
- Mix until well blended.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly in an oven-safe dish or pie pan.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the dip is thoroughly heated and melty.
- While the dip is baking, place the pepper jelly in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the jelly is melted and smooth.
- Carefully remove the cheese dip from the oven and pour the melted pepper jelly over the top, spreading it evenly.
Notes
- For those using homemade pepper jelly, approximately one cup is ideal.
- If a 7-ounce jar of pepper jelly isn't available, using a bit more or less will still work perfectly.
