I love this dip recipe! It’s a great way to use up different kinds of cheeses I’ve already got on hand.

TOP TIP
Toasting nuts deepens their flavor and gives them added crunch. To toast almonds, place them on a baking sheet and heat in a 325° oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring once or twice. Alternatively, cook them in a large skillet over medium heat, tossing regularly. For a variation, try ground or finely chopped almonds instead of sliced.
