Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 F.
In a food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the green chilies and jalapenos and process until smooth. You do not need to drain the can of jalapenos or the can of chiles, but if you prefer a dip that's a little less creamy, you can omit these juices.
Spread the dip into a greased 2-quart casserole.
In a medium bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and the melted butter. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the dip.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the dip is heated through and bubbles gently on the edges.
Serve the dip warm with buttery crackers or a sliced French bread.
Recipe Notes and Tips:
• Do not overcook this dip or the mayonnaise will separate and you will have a grease puddle in your dip.
• You can assemble the dip up to one day ahead and refrigerate it, then bake just before serving.
