RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Have your cream cheese at room temperature to ensure easy mixing. If the weather is hot, take the cream cheese out of the fridge about 20 minutes before mixing.
Use full fat versions of cream cheese and sour cream for the most creamy dip. Light or skim versions will be a thinner texture and a little less creamy and flavoursome.
Blue cheese - pick a flavour you like the best! There's a huge range available these days and blue cheeses now range from smooth and creamy ones with a very subtle blue vein, to really strong, sharp and pungent ones - and everything in-between!
Tabasco sauce is spicy but not too hot! Do a 'taste test' before baking the dip, and increase the heat by adding another dash or so of Tabasco if you want a little more bite!
Storing - warm blue cheese dip is best served immediately out of the oven. If there's any leftover, you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days, and serve chilled rather than reheating. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
