Notes
- You can enjoy the dip either hot straight from the oven, or cold - it lasts well in the fridge for a few good days. You can also prepare the dip the night before and bake just before serving.
- If you prefer the dip hot only, you can reheat it in the oven at the same temperature, but lower the baking time to 10 minutes.
