Tips for this recipe
- Prepare the measured ingredients before heating the pan or assembling the dish. Follow the written order so ingredients are ready when they are needed.
- When scaling the recipe, increase ingredients together but keep the same doneness checks. A larger batch does not necessarily cook in the same time.
Serving suggestions
Arrange the measured ingredients together and keep any crisp component separate until serving. Use the listed serving size as your starting point.
Storage and make-ahead
Keep cut fruit, vegetables, and any dairy or cooked ingredients refrigerated. Store crisp crackers or dry toppings separately, and assemble close to serving. Follow package guidance for opened dips, spreads, and other prepared foods.

Should I weigh ingredients before or after cooking?
Use the stage written next to each ingredient. Raw, cooked, drained, and dry weights are different; keep that distinction when measuring a portion or using the nutrition estimate.
How should I use the calories and macros?
The card lists estimates for its stated serving size. Use the listed ingredients and portions as the basis; changing brands, substitutions, toppings, or sides can change the values.
