Equipment

  • Oven
  • 9 x 6 Baking Dish
  • Good Knife (for thinly slicing the green onions)
  • Non-Stick Cooking Spray
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Stand or Hand Mixer (is best for combining the cream cheese and sharp cheddar)
  • Spatula
  • Cheese Grater (optional)

Ingredients
  

Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 1 Jar of Pepper Jelly, approximately 10 ounces.
  • 8 ounce Brick of Cream Cheese, softened.
  • 8 ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded (about 2 cups). If time permits, buying the 8-ounce brick and grating it yourself always tastes best.
  • 1 Garlic Clove, minced.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3 Green Onions, thinly sliced. Two green onions will be mixed into the dip, and the third onion will garnish the top of the spread.
  • 1 tbsp Red Pepper Flakes. If you want the dip less spicy, cut this back to 1/2 tbsp or omit this ingredient altogether.

How To Make Pepper Jelly Dip, Step-By-Step

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. I sprayed my baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside for now.
  • Combine the softened cream cheese and grated sharp cheddar cheese using a stand or hand mixer.
  • Next, mix in the red pepper flakes, minced garlic clove, and salt.
  • Fold in 2 thinly sliced green onions. The third green onion will garnish the dip after it has been baked.
  • Add the dip to the baking dish. I used a butter knife to distribute the spread evenly and smooth the top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese looks bubbly and golden.
  • Remove the hot dip from the oven and top it evenly with the red pepper jelly. I used the whole 10-ounce jar.
  • Garnish the top with the thinly sliced third green onion you set aside earlier.
  • Serve immediately with buttery round crackers like Ritz or thin (restaurant-style) Tortilla Chips.
