Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or butter.
- Prepare Jalapeños:
- If you haven't already, finely dice the jalapeño peppers. Remember to remove the seeds for less heat or leave them in for extra spiciness.

- Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish or skillet.
- Make Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are coated evenly with butter and cheese.
- Add Topping:
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the jalapeño dip.
- Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbly around the edges.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dip is best served warm.
- You can serve it with tortilla chips, crackers, sliced baguette, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
