    NOTES Soften the cream cheese by removing it from the fridge about 40 minutes in advance. To hasten the time needed remove it from the packaging. See below for more ideas on softening cream cheese quickly. Prepare this dip up to 24 hours in advance. Then cover it with wrap and place it in the refrigerator. When ready to bake remove it from the fridge 40 minutes in advance to bring it to room temperature. Then bake as directed. If desired turn the broiler on low the last minute of cooking for a beautiful browned top. Broilers are unpredictable so stay close by and monitor the progress. I peek on it about every 20-30 seconds. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute intervals at 50% power until heated through. I do not recommend freezing this dip. The cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream will separate.
