# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everyone from keto enthusiasts to carb lovers reaches for this dip first
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes of active prep time

02 -
  • Cold cream cheese creates lumps that never quite disappear, no matter how long you mix
  • Broiling can go from perfect to burned in literally 30 seconds, so don't walk away
  • The dip continues thickening as it cools slightly, so that 5-minute rest period actually matters

  • Sprinkle a little extra cheese around the edges for those crispy bits people fight over
