Notes

• You can adjust the amount of hot honey or red pepper flakes based on your preferred level of sweetness and spiciness.
• For a crispier top, broil the dip for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to avoid burning.
• This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently without losing its creamy texture.
• Substitute fresh thyme with dried thyme if fresh is unavailable, using about half the quantity.
• Using full-fat cream cheese contributes to a richer, silkier dip texture.
