# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The cottage cheese trick makes it creamy and protein-packed without tasting healthy or weird.
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • Buffalo sauce and melty cheese mean you get that spicy-tangy kick everyone craves, and leftovers actually reheat beautifully.
02 -
  • Blend that cottage cheese and cream cheese completely smooth before adding anything else—lumpy dip is the one mistake that's hard to fix.
  • Don't skip the broil step if you want that golden, slightly crispy top; it takes two minutes and changes everything.
03 -
  • Soften your cream cheese at room temperature before blending so it breaks down smooth instead of getting stuck in chunks.
  • Mix in only half the mozzarella and cheddar, then top with the rest—this way the bottom stays creamy while the top gets that gorgeous golden melt.
