Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (170g) pepper jelly
  • 1 tsp (2g) fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Place the softened cream cheese into the center of a 6-inch oven-safe baking dish.
  2. Use a rubber spatula to smooth the top and sides, creating a slightly concave surface to hold the jelly.
  3. Spoon the pepper jelly evenly over the top of the cream cheese, spreading it to the edges to fully seal the cheese.
  4. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 12–15 minutes until the jelly is bubbling.
  5. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped parsley.
