Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons prepared Dijon style mustard
2 rounded teaspoons horseradish (optional)
1 1/2 cups Swiss Cheese, shredded
2-3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup smoked almonds, coarsely chopped
Sliced baguettes or crackers
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish (if using), Swiss cheese, and scallions with cooked bacon. Transfer to a small, shallow casserole or baking dish and bake until golden and bubbly at edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Top with chopped smoked almonds. Serve with sliced baguettes and/or crackers.
Let's Dish
What's not to love about bacon and Swiss cheese? I made this appetizer when we'd invited friends over and four adults polished the entire thing off before dinner. I used the horseradish and thought it gave the dip a nice, tangy kick! And I love the idea from Susi at Susi's Kochen and Backen Adventures to sprinkle the almonds down the center--just in case someone doesn't care for them. I recommend making this for a party or get-together, since it would be easy to eat the entire thing yourself!

Delicious. I agree that the horseradish is a welcome addition. And smart move on placing the almonds only in the center so all can enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the perfect holiday appetizer! You really can't go wrong with cheese and bacon :)
ReplyDeleteMade this last night and it was great! Thanks for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, this looks drool-worthy! Yummy :)
ReplyDeleteIf I prepare all the ingredients and mix them together, can I store it in the fridge for about 5 days before actually sticking it in the oven? Would it be better to freeze it?
ReplyDeleteI think you could prepare most of it that far ahead. I would just keep it in a tupperware type container, then stir in the bacon (and maybe the green onions) right before, then transfer it to the dish you wanted to bake it in.
ReplyDeleteoops I put the bacon in already! should i freeze the dip before popping it in the oven in a few days?
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fine either way. It might get a little watery if you froze it, but would be fine if you gave it a stir. I was more thinking to wait on the bacon to keep it crispy, but I don't think it will go bad or anything.
