Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 pieces fresh jalapenos
• 0.25 cup pickled jalapenos
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with non-stick spray or butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well combined using a spatula or electric mixer.

Step 3

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Step 4

Finely dice the fresh jalapenos, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder dip. Add the diced fresh jalapenos and pickled jalapenos to the cheese mixture, and stir to combine.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and combine the toasted breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of the dip.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or slices of crusty bread.
