Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Garlic Bread

I love jalapeno poppers. Jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese are a great thing. The peppers mellow a bit. The creamy cheese cools the heat a bit. So, why not put those same great tastes together and make a jalapeno popper cheesy garlic bread? Yes, why not! Because we’re all tired of the standard garlic cheese bread. I mean hey, it’s good, but it needs some kick!

Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Garlic Bread

I made two ‘versions’ of this Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Garlic Bread. The top one was a little lighter on the jalapenos in case they would scare people off. The bottom one was loaded and loaded good. They were both fantastic and disappeared in no time at all.

Substitute Asiago or Swiss cheese for the mozzarella for a totally different taste. No matter what you use, you’re going to end up enjoying some great cheesy hot (and I do mean spicy hot) bread. This isn’t some fru-fru French restaurant bread.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.

Also try my olive cheese bread.
