Serve warm with your favorite dips and watch the sauce disappear! Tips for Success
Drain Well: Excess moisture from spinach or artichokes can make the dip runny, so be sure to drain them thoroughly.
Use Fresh Herbs: Substitute fresh herbs for dried basil and oregano if available for a more pronounced flavor.
Customize the Spices: Love it hot? Add more red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
Make Ahead: Prepare the dip up to the day before and keep it refrigerated until ready to bake.
Variations to Try
Buffalo Chicken Twist: Stir in shredded cooked chicken and hot sauce for a kick.
Vegan option: Substitute vegan cream cheese, vegan mayonnaise, and nutritional yeast for the dairy products for a similar cheesy flavor.
