  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

First: Gathering Ingredients

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Second: Preparation

  1. In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic powder until smooth.
  2. Fold in cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and diced jalapeños until well combined.
  3. Spread the mixture into an 8×8 baking dish.

Third: Creating the Topping

  1. In a separate bowl, mix Panko bread crumbs, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
  2. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the cream cheese mixture.

Fourth: Baking and Serving

  2. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  3. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.

Notes

For a spicier kick, leave the jalapeño seeds in or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. For a crunchier topping, broil the dip for the last 2 minutes. If you’re looking for a healthier option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
