Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the cream cheese and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds to soften it, if needed.
In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
In the bowl with the cream cheese, mix in the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed garlic in butter, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe serving dish and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is hot and creamy.
Garnish with additional dried parsley or shredded cheese, if desired, and serve immediately with crackers, bread, or your favorite veggies for dipping.
