CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION BACON DIP



Cheesy Caramelized Onion Bacon Dip image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 slices thick bacon
4 large Vidalia or sweet onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
One 8-ounce brick cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup grated yellow Cheddar
3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
One 10- to 12-inch boule
Crudites, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the bacon on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Roast the bacon until crispy, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour the bacon fat from the sheet pan into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely combined. Stir in the warm onions.
  • Cut the top of the boule off and hollow out the center. Place the boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Save the scooped out chunks of bread and cut the removed top into pieces to dip later.
  • Fill the boule with the onion mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheeses, holding back a tablespoon of each. Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and arrange them like the rays of the sun around the perimeter of the dip, then sprinkle the remaining cheese in the middle, overlapping the bacon to make an extra-cheesy center. Broil, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted beneath, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with crudites and reserved chunks of bread and use the bread bowl/bacon for dipping!

BACON HORSERADISH DIP



Bacon Horseradish Dip image

A co-worker brought this dip to a food day we always hold for office birthdays. I took one bite and was hooked! It is extremely simple, but absolutely addicting. I made it one time and went through the entire tub in a single evening.

Provided by taylorpc

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) container cream cheese
1/2 cup imitation bacon bits (or more if desired)
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon sour cream

Steps:

  • Let cream cheese soften a bit, then mix cream cheese, bacon bits, horseradish, and sour cream in mixing bowl. It's best if it's mixed very well - I use my hands just to make sure.
  • I also like it with lots of bacon and horseradish, so use your own judgement when adding.
  • Place mixture in a serving bowl or back in the cream cheese tub, and let sit in your refrigerator overnight.
  • Serve with Wheat Thins (my personal favorite), Ritz crackers, Triscuits, or any other snack cracker. Watch in amazement as your friends, family, or co-workers shove each other aside to get the last little bit from the bottom of the bowl!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon dry English mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan

Chopped chives, for garnish
Serving suggestions: crackers, toasted bread and vegetables
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, salt and Worcestershire, and continue to beat until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Continue to cook over low heat, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed and the onions are rich golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread the onion jam on a cookie sheet and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.

CREAMY GOAT CHEESE, BACON AND DATE DIP



Creamy Goat Cheese, Bacon and Date Dip image

This appetizer is like a bacon-wrapped date in dip form - and every bit as luxe, sweet and simultaneously smoky as that sounds. Here, as you swipe crusty bread through the smooth cheese, you'll gather chunks of bacon and a bit of date, toffee-like from a quick fry in the meaty fat. You could embellish further, with nuts, chile or honey, or you could sip Champagne and dig in just as merrily - with friends hovering nearby for their turn.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper
5 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut in 1/2-inch thick
10 Medjool dates, pitted and cut into quarters lengthwise, or roughly chopped
Honey, red-pepper flakes, black pepper, flaky salt, toasted sliced almonds or chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)
Crusty bread, grainy crackers, endive or fennel, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish or ovenproof skillet, and spread into an even layer. Bake until warmed through and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, then add the dates to the bacon fat in the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the insides are warm and the outsides blister, about 1 minute.
  • Top the baked cheese with the dates and bacon, and garnish as you wish. Serve at once.
