Cheesy Hatch Green Chile Dip
If you get your hands on fresh Hatch chiles, make this dip! Roasting them brings out their smoky, slightly sweet flavor, and all that melty cheese turns them into the kind of hot dip nobody can stay away from.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chopped roasted Hatch green chiles, fresh or canned, well drained.*
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 1 1/2-quart gratin dish or 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until well combined.
- Fold in the roasted Hatch chiles, sautéed onion and garlic, 1 1/2 cups of the Monterey Jack, and the salt. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges.
- Serve hot with tortilla chips.
Notes
*You can use fresh roasted or canned chiles, well drained.
To roast fresh Hatch chiles: Place the chiles on a foil-lined baking sheet under the broiler, about 4–6 inches from the heat. Broil until the skins are blistered and charred, turning with tongs so they roast evenly on all sides, about 8–12 minutes total. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and steam for 10–15 minutes, then peel, stem, seed, and chop.
