Tips
- • For extra flavor, use a spicy salsa or mix different cheese varieties like pepper jack and cheddar • Ensure your oven is fully preheated to get that perfect cheese melt • Let the dip cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your mouth • For a healthier version, use low-fat cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream • Experiment with toppings like jalapeños, black olives, or fresh cilantro for added texture • Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey for the best experience • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best results
