Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing. If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can substitute the corned beef with sliced roast beef or even roasted turkey for a different flavor profile. To enhance the dish, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce for added depth.
