How to Make Hot Hatch Chile Dip
Peel, seed and dice the roasted hatch peppers. Heat a large overproof skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Add the oil, and when the oil is hot, add the scallions and sauté for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the cumin, then add the diced peppers, cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar, and Monterey Jack. Stir until the cheeses have melted and everything is creamy and well blended and hot. Season with salt. Stir in the lime juice.
Transfer the pan to a 400°F oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling around the edges.
Sprinkle with the chopped parsley, if using, and serve hot, with tortilla chips, vegetables or crackers.
