This is a simple bacon and cream cheese dip I have tweaked over the years and it always disappears at any gathering where I make it. It makes a small amount which is just right to accompany a cheese platter with crackers and some wine. Make at least two hours earlier for best results. Ingredients:
200 g cream cheese |
3 slices bacon |
1 tablespoon parsley (finely chopped) |
1 sun-dried tomato (just one piece is fine but use the semi-dried type) |
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (good quality) |
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best) |
2 dashes tabasco sauce (to taste, can add less) |
Directions:
1. Fry the bacon without any added fat in a small frying pan until slightly brown but not crisp. Trim any obvious fat and pat dry with absorbent paper towels.
2. Roughly chop the bacon and finely chop the tomato.
3. Add the cream cheese to a small blender or chopper and add the rest of the ingredients on top of it.
4. Blend well until the bacon pieces have become small and evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.
5. Scrape onto small plate or in bowl, cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least two hours.
6. Serve with crackers. Enjoy!
