Units
Scale
- :
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or additional sour cream)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (check for halal certification or use a homemade version)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (or use a homemade seasoning blend)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- :
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (8×8-inch or similar).
- Mix the dip base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer to baking dish: Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake the dip: Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. You can also broil it for 2-3 minutes at the end to get a golden, crispy top.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies like celery and carrots.
Notes
- :
- You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less buffalo sauce to your taste.
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute the Greek yogurt with more sour cream or add a little milk or cream.
- Make it a more indulgent dip by adding more cheese on top before baking.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add extra buffalo sauce or sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
