Description
Marry Me Dip is a rich, creamy, and irresistibly cheesy appetizer inspired by the viral ‘Marry Me Chicken’ recipe. Loaded with cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and Parmesan, this baked dip is bursting with flavor — perfect for serving with crackers, bread, or veggies at any gathering.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup mayonnaise

- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (for garnish)
- Crackers, crostini, or pita chips, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with golden edges.

Notes
- Add cooked, shredded chicken or crispy bacon for extra protein and flavor.
- Use a combination of mozzarella and provolone for an even cheesier pull.
- This dip can be made ahead — refrigerate before baking and add 5 minutes to the cook time when ready to serve.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or oven until warm and creamy again.
