Provided by Gwenaelle Le Cochennec

Categories     Appetizers

Time 12m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz cream cheese, cubed
1 ¼ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
5 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon Tasty Zesty Spice Blend, plus more for topping

  • Microwave for 4 minutes, stirring halfway, until the cream cheese is completely softened and the mozzarella is melted. Stir well to combine, then microwave for 30 seconds more to melt any remaining cream cheese clumps.
  • Top with remaining ¼ cup mozzarella and tablespoon of Parmesan. Return to the microwave for 1½-2 minutes, until the mozzarella on top is melted. Sprinkle with more zesty spice blend.
  • Serve with chips, carrots, or celery.
