Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Provides a creamy base; use softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Adds tanginess and creaminess; Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Enhances texture and richness; opt for low-fat mayonnaise for a lighter version.
For the Cheesy Goodness
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Contributes gooey texture; can replace with any melty cheese.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Adds sharp flavor; substitute with a mix of your favorite cheeses if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Provides a salty, nutty flavor; Pecorino Romano can be used instead.
For the Flavor Boost
  • 1/4 cup Diced Green Onions Adds freshness and crunch; chives or shallots can be alternatives.
  • 1/2 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper For color and sweetness; any sweet pepper works well.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Introduces depth of flavor; fresh minced garlic can be used for a bolder taste.
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Complements the garlic and adds a savory note.
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning A blend of herbs that enhances flavor; use a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme if necessary.
