Make this creamy, cheesy baked garlic bread dip for your next gathering. It combines the bold flavors of garlic bread into a warm, savory appetizer perfect for sharing with crusty bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (or 2 tablespoons roasted garlic)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
  • Crusty bread or baguette slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or a small oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  4. Spread the cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown around the edges.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm with slices of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • For a deeper garlic flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw minced garlic.
  • You can prepare the dip mixture up to 24 hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the bake time if baking straight from the fridge.
  • This dip pairs well with sourdough bread, French bread, or sturdy vegetable sticks for dipping.
