RECIPE NAME: JALAPENO POPPER SPREAD

INGREDIENTS:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chili's, drained
2 ounce canned diced jalapeno peppers, drained
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
Stir together cream cheese and mayonnaise in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in green chilies and jalapeno peppers. Pour mixture into a microwave safe serving dish, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Microwave on high until hot, about three minutes. (If you want the cheese browned, heat in a regular oven on 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

MY TIP: This is great for last-minute entertaining. It can be served with toasted baguette slices, tortilla chips or crackers. Adjust the spicy level to your taste, we use the whole 4 ounce can of jalapeno peppers to make it hotter. This makes enough for a crowd, but it is easily divided for fewer servings.
