Notes
I always squeeze the spinach really well: It might seem like an extra step, but it keeps the dip from turning watery and helps the flavors shine.
I save a bit of cheddar for the top: That golden, bubbly layer is my favorite part, and it makes the whole dish look even more inviting.
Full-fat is my go-to: I’ve tried low-fat versions before, but nothing beats the richness you get from full-fat sour cream and mayo.
This is a great make-ahead dip: I often prep it the night before and just pop it in the oven when guests arrive.
We don’t stop at chips: My family loves dipping warm baguette slices or even raw veggie sticks into this, it's always a hit.
