🧄 Ingredients

- 4 ¾ tbsp sour cream
- 4 ¾ tbsp mayonnaise
- 150 ¾ g shredded mozzarella
- 50 ¾ g shredded parmesan
- 4 ¾ garlic cloves, minced

📋 Instructions
-
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet, about 8x8 inches.
💡 A cast iron skillet keeps the dip warm longer at the table. -
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until completely smooth with no lumps.
💡 Make sure cream cheese is truly softened — cold cream cheese creates a lumpy dip. -
3
Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
-
4
Fold in most of the shredded mozzarella and all of the parmesan. Reserve a small handful of mozzarella for the topping.
💡 Freshly shredded cheese melts better and avoids greasiness from anti-caking coatings. -
5
Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella over the top.
-
6
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
💡 For extra golden color, switch to broil for the last 2–3 minutes. Watch it closely so it doesn\'t burn. -
7
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with toasted garlic bread.
💡 The 2-minute rest firms the dip slightly so it scoops cleanly instead of running.
