After receiving this recipe from a friend several years ago, I made it for our family Christmas party. It's now one of our traditional holiday foods. It's a tasty spin on taco dip. Ingredients:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese |
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream, divided |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 cup salsa |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained |
guacamole |
1 medium tomato, diced |
tortilla chips or crackers |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and Monterey Jack cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 cup sour cream just until combined. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in the salsa and chilies.
2. Pour into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set.
3. Remove from the oven; immediately spread with remaining sour cream. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
4. To serve, remove sides of pan. Garnish with guacamole and diced tomato. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 20-24 slices.
