Parmesan Cheese Dip / Spread

Submitted by Joanna570

"This yummy recipe comes from my friend Elaine. She brought it to a party and after only one bite everyone was asking for the recipe. It is very good with your favorite crackers but is even better w/ sliced fresh bread. I think it would even be good over steamed broccoli as well. The next time I make it I plan to bake some in bite sized pastry shells and see how that turns out."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 3 cups
• Serves: 20-30

ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) packages of softened cream cheese
• 8 ounces wedge parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1⁄4 cup minced onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 huge scoop mayonnaise, NOT Miracle Whip

directions

1. Mix all ingredients together until well blended.
2. Bake in a small ungreased covered casserole dish for 20 minute @ 400 degrees.
3. Allow to cool a little before serving. Serve warm with your favorite crackers/bread.
4. A note about the Mayonnaise. She didn't give me a measurement but I would say start with about a 1/4 cup and add more if it still seems too thick. The mayonnaise adds flavor but it can make the dip too thin if you use to much.

I have made this so many times. It is heavenly! A staple at football parties and backyard barbecues. Made it for a dinner party one weekend and now it is all they want me to bring when we gather. One thing-Hellmans real mayo works best
