Notes

My Top Tips
♡ Warm the Cream Cheese - The cream cheese will spread easier if it is not cold from the refrigerator. Simply set the cream cheese out to warm at room temperature while you do other things. You can also warm cream cheese in the microwave for a few seconds at a time at a low defrost setting.
♡ Shred the Cheese Yourself - Use a block of cheese and shred the cheese yourself for the best melting cheese. Packaged shredded cheese is coated with an agent to keep the cheese from sticking and clumping and this agent also changes the look and texture of melted cheese.
Make-Ahead & Storage
Make-Ahead: You can make this dip up to the point of baking it and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. For the best results let the dip come to room temperature before baking it.
Storage: Refrigerate any leftover dip in an airtight container. This dip can be reheated in a microwave for a quick snack.
