Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: About an Hour

Yields: 6 + Servings

What You Need

• 2 x 235g Baguettes + 2 cloves Garlic
• EVOO
• 250g Full Fat Cream Cheese, room temp
• 150g Shallot & Chive Boursin, room temp
• 6 Tbsp. Sour Cream (not light)
• 28g Ranch Seasoning Packet
• 6 Jalapenos, divided (see recipe)
• 170g Monterey Jack with Hot Peppers, shredded
• 1 1/2 C Aged Cheddar, shredded
• 1/2 Red Onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, crushed & minced / pressed
• 113ml can Green Chilis
• Himalayan Salt & Cracked Pepper
• 1 - 2 Green Onions, sliced for garnish at the end

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 425 F
• Wash and dry two jalapenos. Make a little nest out of tinfoil and place that on a small baking sheet. Place the jalapenos on the tinfoil, drizzle them with EVOO and sprinkle them generously with salt. Once preheated, add your jals to the oven and roast 15 + minutes until they're wilted and & cooked to tender. Remove and set onto a wire rack to cool.​

​

• Reduce the oven to 350 F
• In the meantime, add your softened cream cheese, Boursin, sour cream, & ranch packet to a mixing bowl & use a hand mixer to whip everything together. Dice two of the jalapenos, removing most of the seeds / pith before dicing. To your mixing bowl, add the diced jalapenos, red onion, garlic, green chilis, and most of your shredded cheeses. Peel the roasted jalapenos as best you can before chopping them up and adding them to your your bowl of dip. Reserve some shredded cheese for the top. Season with some salt & cracked pepper and fold everything together using a rubber spatula.​

​

• Transfer to a baking dish that's an appropriate size and top with your reserved cheeses. Slice up the remaining 2 jalapenos and lay the slices on top of your dip.
• Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until bubbly and gorgeous. If desired, switch your oven to BROIL HIGH like I did to finish with some additional golden goodness.
• For the baguettes, slice them up into rounds and you can either grill them using a grill pan on both sides, or bake them at 400 F using a rack over a baking sheet until they're golden and crisp. Use the two cloves of garlic to rub your grilled / baked toast prior to service.
• Serve your dip with the crispy baguettes and ENJOY!
