This finger-licking-good Hot Four Cheese Dip is so easy and a perfect way to keep everyone satisfied before the big dinner. It’s smooth, creamy and extra cheesy. Made with four kinds of cheese, fresh chives and fresh parsley.
CHEESE DIP
We are back to share some holiday recipes with you and this week, we are talking about appetizers. I wanted to make something that can be enjoyed before the holiday dinner has even started. Yes, I’m talking about something to snack on while the family is watching the game or just hanging around, waiting on dinner. So if they are not willing to help out with dinner, whip up this fabulous dip to keep them out of your hair.
You can also make this dip after holidays and utilize some of that leftover turkey or ham. Just dice some meat and fold it in this cheesy mixture before baking. That could make a great lunch for the weekend after or a snack for a game day. Kick it up with some red pepper flakes if you want to add some heat to it too. That’s exactly what I will do when I’ll make it again this weekend.

Four Cheese Dip
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese block
- 4 oz Monterrey Jack cheese block
- 4 oz white cheddar cheese block
- 4 oz Asiago cheese block
- 1/4 cup minced fresh chives
- 3 Tbsp fresh minced parsley
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Grate the cheeses on the large side of the cheese grater and set some aside for topping.
- Preheat the oven to 375° and make sure your cast iron skillet (10-inch) is well seasoned. You can also use a 9-in round, an 8x8, or a 9x9 ceramic or glass baking dishes if you prefer, just make sure to lightly grease it.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the dip and mix very well, until evenly incorporated.
- Spread the dip mixture in a baking dish evenly and top off with the cheese that you set aside.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes. (You can turn on broil for a few seconds if you want a golden brown top but make sure to keep an eye on it.)

Hi
What kind of crackers did you serve with that dip.
Robin says
This dip is delicious! I made it in an 8×8 pan and it came out perfect. A cast iron skillet would probably be better when entertaining because the dip would stay hot longer. Yum!

What kind of crackers did you serve with that dip.
lyuba says
Hi there! You can serve any kind of crackers of chips you like. I served blue corn tortillas and think pretzel chips with this dip, and with many of my other dips. It’s really a personal preference.
