Danish Blue Cheese Bacon Dip

Share

It’s hard to live in Denmark and not learn to love strong flavored Danish blue cheese. It’s great on a KP Cobb Salad, Chicken and Strawberry Salad with Vinaigrette, and fantastic in this dip recipe that I found in Southern Living magazine. This dip is really rich, so serve it with celery and apples to balance the flavors. A little goes a long way.

Ingredients:
7  bacon slices, chopped
3  fresh garlic cloves, minced
2  (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Danish blue cheese, crumbled
2  Tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
3  Tablespoons walnuts, chopped

Directions:

  • Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook chopped bacon in large skillet over medium high heat for 10 minutes, or until crisp.
  • Drain bacon and set aside.
  • Add minced garlic to skillet, and saute 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add cream, beating until combined.
  • Stir in bacon, garlic, blue cheese, and chives.
  • Spoon mixture evenly into a glass pie plate.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle evenly with chopped walnuts and serve with sliced apples, celery or assorted crackers.
