Ingredients
Scale
Main Cheese Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 8 ounces (226 grams) whipped cream cheese
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 ounce (28 grams) ranch dressing seasoning packet
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sour cream
Garnish:
- 4 green onions, diced
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese by hand-grating sharp cheddar, ensuring maximum flavor and optimal melting compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- Create a smooth base by combining whipped cream cheese, freshly grated cheddar, ranch seasoning, Dijon mustard, and sour cream in a mixing bowl, thoroughly blending until uniform in texture and completely integrated.
- Enhance the dip’s texture and flavor profile by gently incorporating finely chopped green onions, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Select your serving temperature: for a chilled presentation, refrigerate the dip for a minimum of 2 hours (preferably overnight) to allow flavors to meld. Alternatively, for a warm version, gently heat the mixture on the stovetop or in a slow cooker, stirring intermittently until the cheese melts completely and the dip reaches a creamy consistency around 140°F.
Notes
- Grate cheese manually for superior melting and richer flavor compared to pre-shredded options.
- Mix ingredients thoroughly to prevent uneven seasoning distribution and ensure consistent taste throughout the dip.
- Fold green onions gently to maintain their crisp texture and prevent wilting or bruising.
