# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • It transforms party dip into dinner in under 30 minutes
  • The sourdough gets perfectly crisp while the filling stays molten hot
  • You probably have everything in your fridge right now
02 -
  • Dont be shy about the filling—it looks like a lot but compacts as it melts
  • Keep the heat at medium or the bread will burn before the cheese melts through
  • A light press with your spatula helps everything meld together
03 -
  • Use a box grater for the freshest cheese flavor
  • Let the butter soften completely for the easiest spreading
