Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Oil-Packed Sun-Dried Tomatoes: They’re softer and more flavorful—just be sure to drain off the excess oil.
- Make Ahead Friendly: Prep the dip up to a day ahead, refrigerate, and bake when ready to serve.
- Serve It Warm: For best flavor and texture, keep it hot in a mini slow cooker or warming dish at parties.
