From a newsletter I get regularly from , this recipe was described as A little bite of cheese, a little bite of sweetness, a little bite of crispy & a whole lot of delicious . Just when you think dips have about used up all their originality, along comes a recipe like this to convince you otherwise. (Time includes 5 min to crisp the bacon while you prepare the dates) *Enjoy* ! Ingredients:
1/2 cup stilton cheese (or best-quality blue cheese, room temp, crumbled) |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (room temp) |
1 dash salt |
fresh ground pepper |
1 dash cayenne pepper (optional) |
3 -5 tablespoons heavy cream |
1 cup dates (seeded & sml-diced) |
8 slices bacon (thick slice preferred, crisp-fried, crumbled) |
Directions:
1. Using an electric mixer (blender or hand-held blender), combine both cheeses w/salt & pepper.
2. When blended, add cream until dip reaches desired consistency.
3. Fold in dates & bacon. Serve w/dippers and/or crackers of choice.
4. NOTE: Altho the recipe did not suggest this, I feel a chill time to allow the flavor to develop would be ideal . & . I think this would be best if allowed to approach room temp b4 being served. My thoughts, but your choices. :-).
