Pepper Jelly Cheesecake Appetizer

From Yummies in a Jar

My most popular recipe is this dip.  It’s easy, delicious and quick to prepare!

Ingredients

1 x 8 oz package of Cream Cheese

200 gr or about 2 cups grated Old Cheddar Cheese

2 cloves finely chopped Garlic

1 Egg

1 – 125ml jar of YUMMIES IN A JAR Pepper Jelly (divided)

Directions

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.  

Beat the cream cheese and egg till smooth.  Add remaining ingredients and half jar of pepper jelly. Beat till smooth. 

Pour into a 6” pie pan or oven safe pottery pate dish.  Bake in preheated oven for 35 min or until the top is lightly browned.  Put a small dish of water in the oven while the cheesecake is cooking so it doesn’t dry out. 

Cool slightly.  Just before serving, top with remaining Pepper Jelly.  Serve with crackers and enjoy!

Doubles well.

Note – most any of our pepper jellies are delicious in this recipe.  You can even use 1 variety in the cheesecake and a different variety on top. Try a hot and a mild combination. 

Nada’s Tips & Tricks: Use flavoured cream cheese for different flavour profiles along with various jellies and chutneys…the combinations are endless, and you’ll have variations of the dish every time your guests enjoy it!
