Cheesy Garlic Bread Dip

Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese (Softened)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 cloves Garlic (Finely minced)
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (Shredded)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (Finely grated)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (Finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp Fresh chives (Finely chopped)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt (To taste)
• Black pepper (To taste)
• 1 loaf Crusty bread (For serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small ovenproof baking dish.

2. 2

   Place the softened cream cheese and heavy cream in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy, with no large lumps remaining.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, parsley, chives, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Transfer the cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

5. 5

   Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the dip is hot, bubbling around the edges, and lightly golden on top.

6. 6

   Remove the dip from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes so it thickens slightly. Serve warm with sliced or torn crusty bread for dipping.
