FAQS

    Yes! I always use stracciatella (burrata filling) but here are some other options: ricotta, mascarpone, feta, Boursin

  2. Can I make the garlic bread ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the garlic butter and toast the bread ahead of time. Reheat briefly before serving.

  3. What can I serve with this dip besides garlic bread?

    You can serve it with crackers, pita chips, or fresh vegetable sticks.

  4. How do I store leftovers?

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350 for 15-20 minutes before serving.

  5. Can I make this dip spicier?

    Yes, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. A dash of hot honey would also be amazing!
