Tips
- Ensure the Queijo da Serra is at room temperature for more even melting. Don't rush this step, it's key for creaminess.
- Keep a close eye on the dip as it bakes to prevent the edges from burning and ensure the center is perfectly molten.
- Offer a variety of dippers like toasted baguette slices, crudités, or even apple slices for a sweet and savory contrast.
