Jalapeno Popper Garlic Bread (vegetarian)

Jump to Recipe

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)

How to make Jalapeno Popper Garlic Bread recipe step by step?

Prep

1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the cheese mixture – cream cheese, milk, garlic, jalapeno, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and Mexican cheese blend.

Assemble

1. Take a loaf of French bread. Remove some of the insides of the loaf.

4. Top with shredded Mexican cheese blend.

5. Slice a jalapeno.
6. Top with sliced jalapeno. 
7. Top with some more Mexican cheese blend.
8. Place in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

    I RARELY leave comments but need you to know this recipe is RELIABLE, PERFECT, INCREDIBLE! A literal crowd pleaser. I used Boursin Cheese instead of true cream cheese (shortage) and did not have fresh garlic on hand (only garlic powder) but it was still incredible. Thank you for making this and sharing it!!!

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove
