Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prep the Cream Cheese: Place the cream cheese in a small baking dish. Mix in sour cream if using, and smooth out the top.
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until warm and slightly golden around the edges.
Top with Hot Honey: Remove from oven and drizzle generously with hot honey. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a little extra kick, if desired.

Serve: Serve warm with crackers, crostini, or pretzels.

Notes

To make homemade hot honey: warm 1/4 cup honey with 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce or a pinch of chili flakes. Let it infuse for 5 minutes, then drizzle.
Add a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top for extra texture.

This dip also works great as a spread for bagels or toast the next day!
