Recipe View 30 mins Bake the Dip: Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized baking dish. Cover with foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and lightly golden. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to achieve a more golden top.

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of blue cheese varieties.
If you don't have half-and-half, whole milk or heavy cream can be substituted.
The dip can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if starting with a cold dip.
Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a unique twist.
