Instructions

Place the softened cream cheese on a serving plate, spreading it out slightly for a smoother surface.
Spoon the red pepper jelly on top of the cream cheese, piling it into a thick layer and allowing some to drip down the sides.
Serve immediately with your favorite crackers for dipping.

Notes

Swap red pepper jelly for jalapeño jelly and add hot sauce for extra heat.

Mix chopped herbs like basil or chives into the cream cheese for added freshness.

Try fig jam and top with crumbled bacon for a sweet and savory variation.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. This dip does not freeze well.

Assemble up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve.
