    Huzzah! The Jalapeno Popper Dip you want to eat every weekend for Gameday is here! No pre-made cream cheese, or store bought cheese shreds. Just good old whole ingredients. There are two dips that get swirled up to create the flavor profile. One is cream cheese style jalapeno dip and the other havarti style dip. Add chopped up jalapenos, fresh and pickled. Top with toasted bread crumbs. You can serve this dip as is (use oat + almond crumbs or almond parm mixed with evoo for a raw dip) or do a quick broil and serve immediately. Serve them swirled or serve the dips separately as two!

    How did this dip come about.. This jalapeno popper dip in the Tempeh scramble wrap + this havarti on this Creole spiced veggie omelette. come together in this fantabulous deliciousness.
    Add other goodies like cooked corn, coconut bacon. Or top with a little daiya and broil til it melts for the melty strings when you dip. Go Hawks!

    Make this vegan jalapeno popper dip ..:)

    What to do if you make the dip during the week and you have some leftover.. add to sandwiches spicy sandwiches, drizzle on omelettes or add to the batter of said omelette! 

    Pfft right. I am on the raw train too ;). Well not really. If something does not need to be cooked for the right taste and texture, then it just doesn’t. But for all other purposes I like my food cooked. This dip can be served cooked or raw. This isn’t a 6 ingredient dip (cream cheese, mayo, havarti, cheddar, breadcrumbs and jalapenos and bake :). What this is though is ultra delicious and healthy. Top with some daiya pepperjack or mozza or home made oil free mozzarella for a melty top and broil.

      Would this taste good without the jalepeno?

      This dip is so amazing, you must double it! Plus that makes it easier to manage in the blender when preparing each dip. Has anyone tried just adding the Havarti ingredients to the jalapeño dip in the blender without separating them? I’m curious to try this time saving trick!

        Yeah, I just put everything together and blend. I also use a higher ratio of beans to nuts (sometimes all beans for an amazing jalapeno popper hummus) to save money.
