Growing up, Jalapeno Poppers were my favorite junk food. I could never decide between the cream cheese version and the cheddar version. How about both? This recipe is inspired by my Jalepno Popper Cream Cheese Sandwich and Baked Jalapeno Poppers recipes. Here’s a childhood favorite that’s turned up a notch… the perfect holiday appetizer. Prepare the cheese mixture, spread onto the sliced loaf bread, and bake. It’s that simple. Try my 5 Layer Mexican Dip, Vegan Guacamole, and Enchilada Bean Dip. For a simple and easy salsa, give this 20-minute Chipotle Salsa a try.
