Notes

  • Recipe Source: Food.com
  • For the smoothest texture, buy blocks of parmesan and romano and use a microplane cheese grater to grate the cheese very finely. This will help it melt in smoothly.
  • Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
  • The calories shown are based on the recipe serving 8, with 1 serving being 1/8 of the cheese dip.
