Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter a 2-cup baking dish.
  2. Beat all the ingredients in a bowl with a fork or a standing mixer until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and bake until golden and puffed, 25 to 30 minutes, give or take a little depending on how shallow or deep your baking dish.
  3. Let cool slightly prior to serving straight from the baking dish by the generous spoonful. (Okay, so you can serve the dip hot, but honestly, it's even more spectacular when allowed to cool somewhat.)
