Best Sunnys Easy Ooey Gooey Jalapeno Popper Dip Recipes
SUNNY'S EASY 7-LAYER GYRO DIP
One of my favorite things to order for delivery from a Greek restaurant is a gyro salad. It has all the things you want inside a gyro sandwich, but in salad form. It usually comes with two warm pitas on the side, so I love to make my own gyro from all the elements. This is a dip that gives me all those vibes and more. It's great with pita chips or as an easy way to serve gyros to a group without having several topping bowls. Just have warm pita on the side and a spoon to scoop the dip. Sometimes, I serve it this way with crisp, shredded lettuce in a bowl on the side.

Steps:
- For the lamb: In a large pan on medium heat, add the olive oil. When it begins to swirl, add the onion, garlic, oregano, lamb, salt and plenty of black pepper. Combine the ingredients, breaking up the lamb while cooking, until it is browned, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Layer the dip. In an 8-inch square dish, layer in this order: Spread the hummus on the bottom, then sprinkle evenly with the lamb, feta, tomatoes and cucumbers. Spread the tzatziki dip over the top and sprinkle with the dill to finish. Serve with the pita chips.
SUNNY'S EASY EGGPLANT DIP
Steps:
- For the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a ramekin, add the olive oil and garlic. Roast until the oil begins to bubble and the garlic becomes a very light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the garlic to a large bowl and put half of the oil in a large pan. Reserve the rest of the oil in the ramekin for garnishing.
- For the dip: In the large pan with the garlic-infused oil, add the eggplant, onion and paprika; you may have to do this in batches. Turn to medium-high heat and cook, tossing, until all sides of the eggplant are lightly golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer everything in the pan, bits and all, to the large bowl with the awaiting garlic.
- Using a mezzaluna, chop the contents of the bowl until broken down but still a bit chunky. Sure you can do this in a food processor, but it may lose the texture if over-pulsed. You can also chop all of this on a cutting board, then scrape everything back into the large bowl. Add the parsley, yogurt and lemon zest and juice to the bowl. Stir to combine, taste and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until cool.
- If traveling with this to a swanky party, wait to garnish until just before serving at your host's place. Transfer the dip into a serving bowl, make a nice swirl with the back of a spoon and pour over the remaining garlic-infused olive oil. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and serve with assorted pita chips, grissini and flatbread crisps.
SUNNY'S JALAPEñO POPPER HOT DOGS
Steps:
- For the spread: Put about 2 inches of oil in a small saucepan and line a plate with paper towels.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat until swirls appear on the surface of the oil, about 5 minutes, then add the jalapeños. Fry until they begin to wrinkle and the thin outer skin begins to separate, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on the lined plate. Let cool slightly, then chop finely, removing seeds if you'd like less heat. Fold together the jalapeños, cream cheese and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
- For the hot dogs: Cook the hot dogs in the same frying oil until they plump and begin to blister, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on the lined plate. Slather the insides of the warm hot dog buns with the cream cheese mixture, then add a hot dog to each and top with a drizzle of the nacho cheese sauce and a sprinkle of the chopped fried jalapeños.
