    Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Bread Recipe - crispy baked bread topped with jalapeno popper mixture, cheese and fresh chopped peppers. Perfect appetizer for parties and gatherings!

    Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Bread cut into slices.

    Bread and cheese and jalapenos make this baked goodness a perfect appetizer that is bound to a be a hit at any party, gathering or simply a movie night. Everything you love about jalapeno poppers and cheesy garlic bread in one!

    Great served with pasta, soup or simply as an appetizer. This Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Bread has everything you love about the classic filled peppers and it is as much irresistible and delicious. This bread is actually an improved version of my popular Jalapeno Popper Garlic Bread recipe that I shared here on my blog 3 years ago. Let's just say that one is not as attractive looking and since I used pickled jalapenos, is quite a bit more spicy. This is my new and currently favorite way to prepare this addicting cheesy appetizer!

    HOW TO MAKE A CHEESY BREAD

    Making a homemade cheesy bread is insanely easy. Slice a French or Italian bread lengthwise. Place each piece of a large baking sheet. Brush with melted butter mixed with garlic. Be generous. You want the butter to soak into the bread. Bake for about 5 minutes. Then top each bread piece with cheese ( and other ingredients, if using ) and bake another 5 or so minutes OR until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let cool on a cutting board. Slice and serve immediately. Cheesy bread is the best while still warm and the cheese is gooey. Since jalapeno poppers have a cream cheese filling, I made the same kind of mixture of cream cheese and chopped jalapenos and spread it over the bread before topping with cheese. Sprinkle a few pieces of chopped jalapenos over the top and bake.

    WHAT BREAD TO CHOOSE FOR A CHEESY BREAD

    Let's start with the bread. I usually choose from two kinds: the Italian bread and the French bread. Italian loaf is longer and wider than the French and it will feed more people. Depending on the event you are making the cheesy bread for, or should I say, depending on the amount of people you want to feed, choose the bread that will make enough. For example, for a family dinner for 4, I recommend the French bread.

    WHAT CHEESE TO CHOOSE FOR A CHEESY BREAD

    Next, the cheese. I almost always use mozzarella cheese because it melts perfectly. It also does not have a strong flavor so you can add garlic and actually taste it. For this Jalapeno Popper Cheesy Bread, I went with a combo of cheddar and mozzarella along with the chopped jalapenos and it is fantastic! Cheddar and jalapenos go so well together that I think this addition works perfectly here.
