Ingredients You’ll Need

Cooking spray: Helps prevent sticking—choose a non-stick variety for the best results.
2 (16.3-oz.) tubes biscuit dough: This is the base for your delicious dip, creating a warm, biscuit-y edge. You can also use puff pastry as a fun alternative.
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted: Adds richness and helps the biscuits crisp up beautifully—don’t skip this!
1/2 c. finely grated parmesan: Adds a savory note and helps enhance the overall flavor.
1/2 tsp. garlic powder: This gives a subtle garlicky kick! Fresh garlic can be used if preferred.
3 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened: This creamy goodness forms the base of each dip section.
3 c. shredded mozzarella: Melts beautifully for that gooey texture we all love.
1 1/2 c. shredded cooked chicken: Use rotisserie chicken to save time, or cook some up yourself.
1/4 c. buffalo sauce: This adds that spicy, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the chicken.
1 tbsp. ranch dressing: A tasty complement to the buffalo sauce, adding creaminess and flavor.
1/2 c. shredded cheddar, divided: This cheese is tasty on its own but also adds richness to the dips.
3/4 c. frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry: Offers color and a nutritious boost—fresh spinach works too!
1/2 c. chopped artichoke hearts: These give a lovely, earthy flavor and texture.
1/3 c. sour cream: This adds a creamy tang.
1/4 c. shredded gruyère: Rich and nutty, it elevates the flavor profile.
1/4 c. shredded Monterey Jack: Melts well and adds to the gooey goodness.
2 garlic cloves, minced: For a rich, aromatic flavor—feel free to adjust based on preference.
2 tbsp. finely grated parmesan: Adds an extra layer of flavor.
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes: Offers an optional kick!
1/4 c. ricotta: Creamy and light, it adds a unique texture to the spinach dip.
1 tsp. Italian seasoning, divided: A flavorful touch for the spinach dip.
1/2 c. pizza sauce: This is the star of the pizza dip quadrant, creating a classic flavor.
1/4 c. mini pepperoni slices: A fun and tasty topping for the pizza dip!
1/4 c. shredded mozzarella: Extra cheesy goodness for the pizza dip.
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled: Gives a smoky crunch, perfect for the jalapeño dip.
2 jalapeños, seeded, finely chopped: The heat in this dip; adjust according to your spice preference.
Blue cheese crumbles, finely sliced chives, finely chopped fresh parsley, and torn fresh basil: These fresh toppings add brightness and flavor finishing touch!

How to Make 4-Way Dip (Multiple Varieties)

Preheat your oven: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 350°F. This ensures even baking for that perfect golden crust.

Prepare baking sheet: Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. This will help with easy clean-up later—no one wants a stuck biscuit!

Cut biscuit dough: Take each tube of biscuit dough and cut it into 4 pieces. Pinch the edges together to form small balls. Arrange these biscuits creatively around the edges of the prepared sheet and fill in the center with more dough to create 4 quadrants.

Brush and season: Brush the biscuit balls with melted butter, then sprinkle them with 1/2 cup of finely grated parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. This will give them a delightful flavor and a golden finish!

Mix the cheese dip base: In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium speed to beat together 3 packages of softened cream cheese and 3 cups of shredded mozzarella until smooth and creamy. This base is what binds all your delicious flavors.

Add the fillings: Pour in most of your crumbled bacon (save some for topping later!), the chopped jalapeños, 1/3 cup of sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar into the creamy mixture. Stir everything together until it’s well combined, before scraping it into one of the quadrants on the baking sheet. Top that area off with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar for extra cheesiness!

Bake until golden: Place your baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the biscuits turn golden brown and the cheeses are melted, about 30 minutes. The wonderful aroma that fills your kitchen will have everyone eager to dig in!

Garnish and serve: Once baked, it’s time to add flair to your dips! Top the chicken dip with blue cheese crumbles and sliced chives. Sprinkle parsley over the spinach dip, fresh basil over the pizza dip, and finish the jalapeño dip with the reserved bacon.

Storing & Reheating

This delicious dip can be stored at room temperature for about two hours. If you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze your dip in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly, but you can revive the flavor with some fresh toppings!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing the cheese dip base to keep it creamy, rather than turning it into a dense mixture.
Ensure all dairy ingredients, especially cream cheese, are at room temperature for a smooth blend.
If you find your biscuits browning too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil while baking.
Experiment with other dips like a Mexican salsa or guacamole variation for even more flavor options!
For an added twist, consider using different types of cheese or sauces based on your preferences.

This 4-Way Dip offers a delightful experience packed with different flavors and warmth, perfect for sharing (or not!). Whether you’re diving into the hearty buffalo chicken, the creamy spinach artichoke, the classic pizza, or the zesty jalapeño, you’ll enjoy every munch of this irresistible dish. So grab your friends, get ready for some fun, and enjoy the scrumptious results.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dip base and biscuit dough a day in advance. Assemble everything on your baking sheet, cover it, and refrigerate overnight. Just remember to allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking.

Can I use fresh chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Yes, you can use freshly cooked chicken, but it’s best to season it beforehand to enhance the flavor. Rotisserie chicken is convenient and already flavorful, so it’s a solid choice!

What if I don’t have biscuit dough?

If you can’t find biscuit dough, consider using puff pastry or even making your own quick homemade biscuit dough for a fun twist!

Is there a way to lighten this recipe for healthier options?

Definitely! You can use low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, as well as reduced-fat cheese varieties. Each swap will still provide you with great taste while cutting down on calories.
