Directions
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until completely smooth and creamy. This forms the luscious, melty base that makes the dip irresistible.
- Fold in Shrimp and Chives: Gently mix in the chopped shrimp and chives until evenly distributed. The shrimp adds a subtle seafood sweetness that balances the rich, cheesy flavors.
- Bake to Bubbling Perfection: Spoon the dip mixture into a small baking dish. Arrange reserved whole shrimp on top and sprinkle with extra cheese if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden, bubbly, and hot in the center. The aroma alone will have everyone gathering around!
- Prepare the Garlic Toast: While the dip bakes, brush baguette slices with olive oil or melted butter. Toast in the oven or on a skillet until golden. Rub lightly with the cut garlic clove for a fragrant, flavor-packed accompaniment.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle with extra chives and a pinch of red chili flakes if you like a little heat. Serve immediately with warm garlic toast for dipping. Watch it vanish—it’s always a crowd favorite!
