Key Ingredients
If you love artichoke dip, then you will love this spicy artichoke dip jalapeno poppers. Made with similar ingredients to the artichoke dip, use the list below for extra tips.
- Jalapeños- Cut these in half and remove the seeds. Sometimes, with the seeds gone, they lose the kick you love. You can always keep some of the seeds to add heat.
- Cream cheese- Soften to room temperature before using.
- Plain Greek Yogurt- We use plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I like using it because I use it up more often than sour cream. Sour cream tends to go bad quickly at our house.
- Cheese-Ok cheese lovers, this recipe calls for both Parmesan and mozzarella. You'll want to use both for the best taste and textures.
- Artichoke Hearts- They can be marinated for extra flavor or just canned plain.
- Spinach- Fresh spinach is best. It has a better texture in the sauce.
How to Make Artichoke Dip Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
Making these delicious Artichoke Dip-stuffed Jalapeno Poppers is easy!
- First, start by cutting the stems off of each Jalapeno pepper. Half and remove the seeds. Be sure to wash your hands after handling the Jalapeno Peppers.
- Next, in a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, plain Greek yogurt, and salt. Mix until well mixed. There should be no chunks, except for the mozzarella and parmesan. Next, add in chopped artichoke hearts and chopped spinach. Mix again
- Add the cut jalapeno peppers to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a spoonful of prepared mixture in each jalapeno. Cook in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Hint: Make sure to cook until the peppers are the desired crispness. If you take them out of the oven too soon, they may not have the desired texture.
Common Mistakes
Make these right before serving. I made these too far in advance once and had to reheat them before eating. They still tasted good, but the pepper texture wasn't how I normally liked them. The Jalapeno Poppers taste much better fresh from the oven the first time.
Top Tip
Don't undercook the stuffed peppers! You want them golden brown on top and brown on the bottom of the pepper. The pepper will get too mushy if you overcook it.
