Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the dip in a baking dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake from cold, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
What can I use instead of pita chips?
Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, breadsticks, or toasted baguette slices.
How do I know when the dip is done baking?
Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly around the edges, typically 15-20 minutes at 350°F.
Can I use fresh mozzarella instead of shredded?
Fresh mozzarella will not melt as smoothly. Stick with shredded mozzarella for a creamy, consistent dip.
How do I reheat leftover dip?
Cover and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until warm throughout, or microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each.
