Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather the mini muffin tin and melted butter for greasing.

In a bowl, mix diced jalapeños, softened cream cheese, sliced green onions, shredded mozzarella, and half of the cheddar cheese until creamy.

Bake the filled cups for 12-14 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
Cool for 3 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm.
