    Recipe Introduction


    This dip is fantastic! I actually found it here in the archives.

    List of Ingredients




    7 slices bacon, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup half and half
    4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
    3 tablespoons chopped smoked almonds (1 ounce)

    Recipe




    Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost crisp, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat from skillet. Add garlic and cook until bacon is crisp, about 3 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add half and half and mix until combined. Stir in bacon mixture, blue cheese, and chives. Transfer to a 2-cup ovenproof serving dish and cover with foil. Bake until thoroughly heated, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped almonds. Serve with sliced apples, toasted pita crisps or French bread.

    NOTE: May be prepared 1 day in advance. Refrigerate or freeze. Bring to room temperature before baking.

    Yield: 2 cups
