Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, and garlic herb seasoning. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses into the ricotta mixture, stirring gently.
Transfer the mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish and smooth out the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
