Jalapeno Popper Bread

Jalapeno Popper Bread recipe


I’ve had a jar of pickled jalapenos in my pantry for a couple of months now and every time I open the door, there they are, eyeballing me.

I hate being eyeballed by peppers.

So, I finally decided to do something about it. Something violent and dangerous and kinda mean.

I chopped those jalapenos up, I added them to some cream cheese, and I spread it all on some bread.

By the way, guys, cream cheese runs through my veins. I mean, it must. I don’t bleed blood. I bleed cheese. Fact.

Back to the bread, I topped it with some cheddar. See above regarding cheese and the fact that it’s my life source.

So, that’s the story of how my 12 year old son found me curled up under the dining room table sobbing uncontrollably because my mouth was on fire.

Oh, jalapenos. You showed me.

Notes: As I said above, I like cheese. I’ve used a full 16 ounces of cream cheese here, but you could totally get away with reducing that amount. It won’t be as decadent, creamy, or cheesy, but it’ll work.

Jalapeno Popper Bread

Forget frying poppers for your next get-together! When you have to feed a crowd, this bread is simple and sure to be a hit. The thick, creamy layer of cream cheese is stuffed full of jalapeno peppers. Feel free to adjust the amount of peppers as desired. Top with extra jalapeno slices for an extra kick - the wimps can just pick them right off if it's too much heat!

Yield: 8 large slices or 16 smaller slices

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 18 minutes

Ingredients:

1 loaf sweet Italian bread, sliced in half lengthwise
16 ounces cream cheese
1 3/4 cups diced pickled jalapeno slices
1 cup sharp cheddar, freshly grated
Extra jalapeno slices for topping, as desired

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the cream cheese and diced jalapenos. Stir over low heat until cream cheese has melted and the jalapenos are all combined in the cheese.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cut side of the bread. Top with cheddar cheese. Add extra jalapeno slices as desired.
Bake uncovered for 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and slice.

    So, this is basically like jalapeno poppers layered on warm, delicious, carby bread?

    I’m sold!! Give me twelve, please.

    Sometimes I read your recipes and posts, and that little thing on Pinterest about seeing someone else on a blog and knowing you are totally kindred spirits (or could be crazy bffs) applies. I love cream cheese!

    Eye-balling jalapeños? How rude! I just tried a jar of “tamed” jalapeños; the same taste, minus some of the heat.

      Those are the kind of jalapenos I need! Love them, but I can only handle so much before I’m in tears.

    this is everything Kevin loves and more. Oh and me too. I LOVE jalapeno poppers! I recently found a jalapeno popper DIP that I need to make. I want all of this carby wonder right now. So much better than my salad for lunch. :(

    • Karly — February 26th, 2013 @ 10:48 am

    I loove cream cheese too! Jalapenos–not so much! Have you ever tried Jalapeno Popper chips by HERR’s? They’re AMAZING. It’s like cheese doodles with an additional jalapeno punch!

    • Karly — February 26th, 2013 @ 10:49 am

      Never tried those! I’ll be on the lookout now. :)

    MY boyfriend would love this. I on the other hand cannot handle any spice at all :( I would join you sobbing! Ha I’ll take this mince the jalapeno and add some parmesan! More cheese please!

      More cheese please is my motto. :)

    This looks so good. I love jalapeños, but canned green chiles would probably work for those that can’t take the heat.

      Great idea! I love green chiles!

    I made this, OMG too much jalapenos, next time I WILL cut them to 1/4 cup. Hopefully this will work for our taste buds. This should cut the HEAT.
