Introduction

This 4-Way Dip is a fun and flavorful party platter featuring four distinct, cheesy dips all baked inside a ring of buttery biscuit dough. Whether you love spicy buffalo chicken, classic spinach-artichoke, zesty pizza, or creamy jalapeño popper flavors, this recipe has something for everyone to enjoy.

A large metal baking tray filled with square baked rolls forming a border around four different dip sections. The top left section has a thick bright orange layer with melted cheddar cheese strands and chopped green herbs scattered on top. The top right section features a white creamy layer mixed with spinach leaves and sprinkled with fresh green herbs. The bottom left section shows a white cheese base topped with melted cheese, red pepper slices, and fresh green basil leaves. The bottom right section has a lighter orange layer mixed with melted cheese and crispy bacon pieces. Two woman's hands are pulling apart the soft, golden brown rolls at opposite corners, stretching melted cheese strands between the bread pieces. The tray sits on a white marbled surface.

Ingredients

Cooking spray
2 (16.3-oz.) tubes biscuit dough
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, divided
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
3 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup buffalo sauce
1 tbsp. ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded cheddar, divided
3/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup chopped artichoke hearts
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup shredded Gruyère
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp. finely grated Parmesan
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup ricotta
1 tsp. Italian seasoning, divided
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled, divided
2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
Blue cheese crumbles, finely sliced chives, finely chopped fresh parsley, and torn fresh basil (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces and pinch the edges to form balls. Arrange the biscuit balls around the edges of the baking sheet and fill the center with lengthwise and crosswise lines to create four quadrants.
Step 2: Brush all biscuit pieces with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 2 cups of shredded mozzarella together with a handheld mixer on medium speed until well combined. This will be your dip base.
Step 4: Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Dip by stirring cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar into one quarter of the dip base. Set this aside to fill one quadrant.
Step 5: For the Spinach-Artichoke Dip, mix thawed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, sour cream, Gruyère, 1/4 cup Monterey Jack, minced garlic, 2 tbsp Parmesan, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes into another quarter of the dip base.
Step 6: To make the Pizza Dip, combine ricotta, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, pizza sauce, mini pepperoni slices, 1/4 cup mozzarella, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning into the third quarter of the dip base.
Step 7: For the Jalapeño Popper Dip, mix most of the crumbled bacon (reserve some for topping), jalapeños, sour cream, Monterey Jack, and the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar into the last quarter of the dip base. Spread this mixture into the final quadrant and top with the reserved cheddar.
Step 8: Carefully spoon each prepared dip into its designated quadrant on the baking sheet between the biscuit pieces.
Step 9: Bake for about 30 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cheeses are thoroughly melted.
Step 10: Remove from the oven and garnish the Buffalo Chicken Dip with blue cheese crumbles and sliced chives, the Spinach-Artichoke Dip with chopped fresh parsley, and the Jalapeño Popper Dip with remaining bacon. Add fresh basil over the Pizza Dip before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use freshly cooked and shredded chicken for the best texture and flavor in the buffalo dip.
To make it milder, reduce or omit the jalapeños and buffalo sauce.
Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream in the spinach-artichoke and jalapeño dips for a lighter option.
Try adding chopped olives or mushrooms to the pizza dip for additional toppings.
Prepare the dips a day ahead and refrigerate; assemble and bake on serving day for convenience.

Storage

Store any leftover dip and biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through and the biscuits regain some crispness. Avoid microwaving as it may make the biscuits soggy.

How to Serve

A thick square pizza with a golden, fluffy bread crust forming a thick outer layer, each crust piece slightly rounded and sprinkled with a light dusting of seasoning, surrounds the main pizza layer which has melted mozzarella cheese melted over a rich red tomato sauce, topped with small, round, reddish pepperoni slices evenly spread across the surface. Fresh green basil leaves and small herb bits are scattered on top of the cheese and pepperoni. One slice is missing, showing the creamy white cheese layer under the sauce and cheese, stretching out slightly. The pizza rests on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
