This was soooo amazing and so quick and easy to make. Calls for ingredients that I always have on hand. Perfect for when we have unexpected guests at the cottage!

I also used a tin pie plate. I liked it spread out more. It's also good for dipping hard veggies. Carrots, celery, broccoli etc.

Everyone asks for this dish as an appy - even works great over the fire when camping - doesn't get any better than that!

We love this recipe - I made it so many times at the cottage and the ingredients are something that are usually in the cupboard! Great even if there are any leftovers
