Jalapeno Popper Garlic Bread (vegetarian)

Jalapeno Popper Garlic Bread is creamy, spicy, and cheesy. The perfect party appetizer!

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 Poppper 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.
 

Can I make Jalapeno Popper Garlic Bread healthier?

Somewhat. You can use Neufchatel cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese.
Use low-fat milk instead of whole milk.
Use reduced-fat cheese instead of regular Mexican blend.

Can I make Jalapeno Popper Bread gluten-free?

Yes. Simply use a gluten-free French/Italian loaf instead of a regular loaf.

Jalapeno Popper Garlic Bread is:

Scrumptious
Creamy
Cheesy
Delicious
Party Favorite
Spicy
Vegetarian
Gluten-Free option (use GF French bread)
