If you want a spread that will kick things up a notch in flavor, this jalapeno cheese spread is it. This dip is warm, creamy, and full of flavor. This isn't for the faint of heart, though. It has quite the kick to it. Adjust spice amounts to your liking. We served it with crackers but this appetizer would be great on warm French bread or even over grilled chicken.

How To Make jalapeno cheese spread

Step 1

Mix the mayo, cream cheese cut into chunks, undrained chiles, Italian seasoning, and hot sauce.

Step 2

Stir in mozzarella cheese and jalapenos.
Step 3

Either heat on low in a saucepan to melt the ingredients. Or, use a mini Crock Pot on high for about an hour, stirring occasionally. I like using the mini Crock Pot.
Step 4

Serve warm with soft bread wedges or crackers.
