1
Preheat & Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set aside.
2
Mix the Dip Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the TASTY BITE®/MD Butter Chickpea, softened cream cheese, sour cream, 3/4 cup (75 g) of the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until smooth, creamy, and evenly blended.
3
Assemble & Top: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer using a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup (25 g) of mozzarella cheese evenly across the top.
4
Bake until Bubbly: Bake uncovered for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling vigorously around the edges and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown.
5
Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish generously with freshly chopped coriander and thinly sliced green onions. Serve warm alongside toasted naan chips, pita chips, crackers, or crisp fresh vegetables.
