When actual jalapeño poppers are just too darn fussy, try this pull-apart bread. (Remove the seeds and membrane from the peppers before you slice them to take the heat down a few notches.)

Ingredients

1 loaf crusty bread, like Sourdough
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella
2 cups sliced jalapeños (about three jalapeños)

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Step 2Slice top of bread long-ways and then cross-ways, being careful not to cut loaf all the way through.
3. Step 3Gently open cuts of loaf, and spread insides with cream cheese, making sure it gets deep into crevices. Then cover bread with both cheeses, pushing cheese into crevices, as well. Tuck half the jalapenos into slices, and cover loaf with the rest.
4. Step 4Move loaf to sheet pan, and bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
