We combined Monterrey Jack, cheddar, and cream cheese with fresh jalapenos to create this melty, cheesy jalapeno popper bread.

Kim has wanted to share this recipe with everyone for quite awhile. However, we had to wait until after Christmas. It’s not really a holiday recipe.

This jalapeno popper bread features cream cheese, sour cream, fresh peppers, and 2 kinds of shredded cheese. It’s similar to our cheesy garlic bread except it has different toppings.

Basically, it has all the flavors of a jalapeno popper, served on a toasted French loaf. The fresh jalapenos add a flavorful crunch to the smooth and creamy filling.
