1. Put the cream cheese on a microwave-safe plate. Place in the
Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select the Microwave
Melt/Soften preset A4, and press Start. The cream cheese is soft
enough to use when you can easily press into the center with your
finger. Repeat the cycle if necessary.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese,
mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce,
salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in the blue cheese, scallions,
and chives. Pour mixture into a small microwave-safe baking dish.
3. Place in the oven. Select Combi Cooking (CC-2), and set the
temperature to 350°F and time for 10 minutes. Press Start.
The dip is done when bubbling and golden on top.
4. Carefully remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before
serving. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
