Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool slightly.
Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Serve warm with bread slices, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
