Bean dips are an absolute classic appetizer. A sure hit at any party whether it’s a pre-made dip or a hot and steamy homemade version fresh out of the oven. You really can’t go wrong with the beans and cheese combo. The traditional pinto and black bean take will always have a prominent place in our recipe collection, but this White Bean Dip definitely gives the classics a run for their money! With mozzarella and parmesan cheese mixed in, it doesn’t skimp on the good stuff and garlic and onion provide the perfect bite to balance out all the creaminess. The results are out of this world good!
The recipe couldn’t be much easier to throw together. You’ll add the beans and the rest of the ingredients to a food processor or blender, saving a bit of cheese for the top. Pulse until the mixture is totally smooth and transfer it to the baking dish of your choice. Then you’ll load up the top with the remaining cheese and pop the dip in the oven for about 30 minutes. Once the top is turning golden brown and the beans are bubblings you’ll know it’s done. Time to dig in!
This dip is definitely best hot out of the oven, but we won’t turn it down at room temperature either. If it’s going to be sitting out at a party, warming it in a slow cooker set on low is a great way to keep it toasty. Though, with how tasty it is it probably won’t last long enough to cool off. Give this recipe a try and we’re sure you’ll have a new favorite!
