  3. Stir 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper into the cream cheese mixture.

  7. Layer the 1 cup shredded cheddar and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack over the dip, then sprinkle the buttered Panko crumbs on top.
  8. Place the dish in the center rack of the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the Panko topping has turned a deep golden brown gold.
