Hot Pepper Cheese Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a food processor, blend the roasted red peppers and garlic until combined. Add the cream cheese, mayo, Parmesan, salt, pepper and basil to the processor and blend. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Top with the mozzarella. Bake until bubbling and the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with toasted rustic bread.

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese and hot pepper jelly in a bowl.
• Beat with electric mixer until smooth.

Steps:

• Crumble the feta into small pieces using a fork.
• Sauté the pepper in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the skin is lightly browned. Remove the stem and discard, and chop the pepper into very small pieces.
• Using a mortar and pestle, add the pepper and the oil it was sautéed in to the cheese and mash until smooth, adding additional olive oil if needed to bring it to the consistency of a thick (but not stiff) dip. Serve garnished with a bit of parsley.
• Alternatively: Put the cheese, pepper, and oil from sautéeing in the blender and mix, adding more olive oil if needed to bring to the correct consistency.
• (Note: If you have a pepper that's too hot, slit it open down one side under running water and remove and discard the white internal membrane. Pat the pepper dry before sautéeing.).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch square pan or baking dish with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix dip ingredients; spread in pan.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until bubbly. Serve with chips, pretzels and/or celery.
