So I am going to confess something to you all, I have an addiction to mozzarella. There is just something about this semi- soft cheese that leaves me craving it all day, every day. What I love about Baked Mozzarella Dip is the simplicity. Not too much seasoning, you just cook it to showcase the flavors of your ingredients. It is therefore important to use the highest quality ingredients you can find. It is better to go with a ball of fresh mozzarella in the vacuum sealed packages, otherwise the dish becomes too watery. If you can find it, smoked mozzarella takes this dish to a whole other level.
You can eat Baked Mozzarella Dip straight out of the dish it is served in. But, this is also great when served with a few toasted baguette slices. Also, this dish is best when it is kept hot otherwise the mozzarella starts to get hard, so try to use a dish that can retain the heat. Enjoy!
