broccoli-cheddar-dip

The simplest holiday appetizer—and such a good one for entertaining! Think of it like a creamy bowl of broccoli cheddar soup turned into a warm, cozy dip everyone will devour. Fresh broccoli is mixed with cream cheese, a few spices, and plenty of cheddar. I use both sharp white cheddar for tang and classic yellow cheddar for that perfect melt. A splash of hot sauce adds subtle heat, and lots of black pepper brings everything together. Bake until bubbly and golden on top, then serve with hard pretzel twists (trust me—this is the secret!). It’s a guaranteed holiday favorite.
