Notes

Make-ahead friendly and freezer-safe for up to 3 months. To lighten it, use Greek yogurt in place of some cream cheese. Watch for bubbling edges and a golden top as the doneness cue.
Great with celery, chips, pita, or carrot sticks. Optional garnishes include green onions, chili flakes, or an extra drizzle of wing sauce.
