Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 block (225g) Cream Cheese full-fat, softened
  • 2 large Jalapeños fresh
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Olive Oil for roasting
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Honey
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet or Broiler Pan
  • 1 Small mixing bowl

Method
 

Roast the Peppers
  1. Rub jalapeños with olive oil. Broil or char over a gas flame for 5-7 minutes, rotating until the skins are blistered and show black charred bits.
  2. Place peppers in a bowl, cover for 5 minutes. Dice finely, keeping the charred skin bits for flavor and texture.
Assemble the Dish
  1. Whisk honey and Dijon mustard together until a thick, golden sauce forms.
  2. Place softened cream cheese on a plate. Use a spoon to create rustic indentations across the top.
  3. Layer the diced jalapeños over the cheese, drizzle with glaze, and garnish with red pepper flakes and cilantro.

Notes

Leave the charred skins on the peppers for the best smoky flavor.
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for the best visual indentations.
