Grilled Pizza Dip (Cast Iron + Ready in 20 Minutes)
Room temperature cream cheese spreads evenly. Let it sit out 20 to 30 minutes before assembling.Close the grill lid and leave it closed for the full cook time. Opening releases the heat that melts the top cheese layer.Grate both cheeses fresh from a block. Pre-shredded won't melt or brown properly.Cast iron stays extremely hot after coming off the grill. Heavy oven mitts and a trivet are required.Serve immediately. The dip firms up as it cools and is best the moment it comes off the grill.Make ahead: Assemble in the skillet, cover, refrigerate up to 8 hours. Pull from fridge 20 minutes before grilling.Oven version: 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly.
