You will know if you watch our YouTube videos that Ade’s favourite Disney snack this year has been the Jalapeño Poppers.
You can find them on a little stand near The Country Bears Jamboree in Frontier Land near the water.
They are so good!
Really hot. Crispy on the outside. Melty cheese on the inside with a lovely warm kick from the jalapeños.
We talk about them lots at home, so whilst deciding that we were going to have a date night the other day, I thought it would be fun to try and create something similar.
I have struggled to find whole jalapeños so I had to improvise and go with a recipe that was ‘inspired by’ instead.
But I can assure you, although it wasn’t quite the same, it didn’t disappoint.
This is what we made to go along with our Date Night Charcuterie Board
The base is creamy and cheesy and the top crunchy and it’s served hot out of the oven and you get the warm kick from the sliced jalapeños.
It was a winner!!
If you’d like to try it too, here’s how we made it.
Ingredients
- Small tub of cream cheese (about 160g)
- 150ml sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped jalapeno slices
- 2 cups of grated cheese (I used a combination of vintage cheddar, Mexican style cheddar & Parmesan)
- 1 slice of bread (made into crumbs)
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- bread to dip
To Make:
Set oven to 180c/350f
In a bowl mix together very well the cream cheese, sour cream, jalapeños (leave 4 slices for the topping) & garlic salt.
Then fold in the cheeses leaving a little to one side for the topping.
Mix the breadcrumbs and remainder of the grated cheese.
Place into a small oven dish and sprinkle over the cheesy breadcrumb mix and add the last slices of jalapeños.
Pop in the oven for around 15mins or until golden and bubbly.
Enjoy with slices of crusty bread to dip.
We hope you will enjoy this as much as we do.
And if you’d like to see the video of us making this dip and setting up ready for our date night, we have a new YouTube video here on Lisa’s channel.
Let’s us know if you fancy giving this a go too.
We plan to start using the blog more and sharing tips, further details and Disney inspired ideas and recipes.
We hope you’ll enjoy following along. We’ve been meaning to get this blog going since we started our YouTube channel over a year ago. I’m sure you know that feeling too, other things just keep getting in the way.
If you have any suggestions for the blog, please do let us know.
Have a great weekend.
love
