Additional Ingredients
This is a versatile master recipe and can be modified for your personal taste. To increase the heat add some minced jalapeno or your favorite hot sauce. More texture, flavor and color can be added with sliced onions, scallions or chopped spinach. The options are limitless when you consider additional spices like togarashi, tumeric, a cajun mix or herb de provence.
Serve this hot or cold, with your choice of chips, pita pieces, crostini and a selection of crudite for the vegetable lovers in your midst.
When your cream cheese has softened, mix all the ingredients together with a spatula until they are thoroughly combined.
Portion the mixed dip into shallow ramekins, ready to place in the oven, pre-heated to 350 degrees. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then crank up the heat and broil briefly until the tops begin to brown. Remove and allow to cool until ready to serve.
