In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the dip, but be sure to reserve half of the green onions for garnish. Mix well. Transfer to a Lodge 8” Cast Iron Griddle. Spread evenly.
Combine the ingredients for the topping and mix well. Sprinkle over the dip, covering the entire surface evenly.
