Tips & Variations

  • For a stronger herb flavor, use fresh rosemary or oregano instead of thyme or parsley.
  • Swap half of the mozzarella for sharp cheddar for a different cheese twist.
  • If you don’t have a skillet safe for the oven, transfer the dip into a small baking dish before baking.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.

Storage

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through, stirring occasionally for even heating.
