Preparation
Chef’s notes
Note:
To quickly soften cream cheese in the microwave, remove the wrapper and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on 50% power in 5 to 10-second intervals until soft but not melted. This method ensures it softens evenly without turning runny.
Make-Ahead Instructions:
The dip can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. Remove the dip from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving to let it come to room temperature. Give the dip a good stir and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
