Notes
Nutrition info is for the dip only and doesn’t include serving.
Doubling the recipe: This scales up easily for a bigger crowd, just double every ingredient and use a larger pan for the breadcrumb topping so it toasts evenly instead of clumping.
Serving at a party: If this is sitting out for a while, nest the serving bowl in a larger bowl of ice to keep the dairy-based dip cold and food-safe.
