Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a small oven-safe baking dish with neutral oil or cooking spray. Set aside.

Next, add the cream cheese, white cheddar cheese, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and white pepper to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the cheeses and spices together until the dip is very smooth. Taste and add more salt, if needed.

Spread the dip into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the dip is hot.

Carefully remove the pan from the oven and spread the pepper jelly evenly over the top of the dip. Bake for another 3-5 minutes, until the pepper jelly is hot. Serve with crackers and veggies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Cream Cheese 🧈
Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free blending with other ingredients and even seasoning distribution.
Balance Sweet and Spicy 🌶️
Taste the dip before serving and adjust pepper jelly quantity gradually—start with less and add more to achieve your perfect sweet-heat balance, as homemade jelly brands vary in intensity.
Toast Your Crackers 🍘
Lightly toast crackers and crostini in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes before serving to add crunch and prevent them from becoming soggy when dipped into the creamy dip.
Layer Cheese for Maximum Flavor 🧀
Mix white cheddar into the cream cheese base rather than sprinkling on top—this creates a cohesive, flavorful dip and prevents cheese from separating when heated.
Fresh Chives as Finishing Touch ✂️
Add freshly-snipped chives only immediately before serving to maintain their bright color and delicate onion flavor, as they can wilt and darken if added too early.
