BACON, SPINACH, SWISS, & CARAMELIZED ONION DIP RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Bacon, Spinach, Swiss, & Caramelized Onion Dip Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by emilou

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) package Neufchâtel cheese
1 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 packet onion soup mix
8 slices good quality bacon
1 large sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 cups spinach, frozen chopped
1 1/2 cup swiss cheese, shredded (you could also use white cheddar or really any of your favorite shredded cheese)
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
Generous squeeze of lemon juice
Fresh cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • I made this in our food processor but you could also hand mix it if you wanted. It will just take a bit more effort. First, combine all your Dip Trinity - cream/neufchâtel cheeses, mayo, and sour cream. Blend until completely creamed together, then incorporate the onion soup mix. Meanwhile, heat up a tablespoon of oil in a skilled and let your onions brown up and caramelize on low heat for about 20 minutes. When you have about 10 minutes to go, fry up your bacon in another skillet. You want it crispy and crunchable, not soggy, but you also don't want to burn it. Add the red pepper flakes, lemon, and as much black pepper to the creamy mixture and give it a few pulses. You can add more later to your tasting. Once that's all pulsed (or hand mixed) together and there are no lumps, throw in your caramelized onions, bacon (just crumble it by hand while you drop it in), spinach, and cheese. You don't want to totally liquefy this all together, you want some texture and chunks. After you've lightly pulsed it together, dip your favorite cracker or bread in there for a taste test, if you want more pepper, or lemon, onion soup mix, go for it. Serve alongside your favorite chips or crackers, topped with a bit of shredded cheese and a sprinkle of paprika.

Categories     Appetizer     Snack

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 strips bacon
2 large yellow onions, (thinly sliced)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3 tablespoons white wine
½ cup sour cream
3 ounces cream cheese, (room temperature)
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups Gruyere cheese, (shredded and divided)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
parsley, (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In an oven-safe skillet (8-10 inches), cook bacon over medium-high heat.
  • Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to let cool. Do not clean out the skillet.

  • (If you want a thicker dip, move the ingredients to a smaller over-safe dish, such as a 6 inch skillet. If you don't mind a thinner dip, continue on with the skillet you cooked everything in thus far.)
  • Crumble the cooked bacon and add most of it to the cream cheese mixture, reserving a little for the topping.
  • Top with the remaining cup of cheese and reserved bacon.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Caramelized Onion And Spinach Dip Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, fresh rosemary, medium yellow onions, garlic, frozen spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, lemon juice, pita chip

Provided by Jordan Kenna

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
10 oz frozen spinach, 1 box, thawed and squeezed dry
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon zest
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
pita chip, or toast, or crudités, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in the 2.5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rosemary sprigs and fry until fragrant and the leaves are crisp, 1 minute. Using tongs, remove the rosemary and transfer to paper towels to drain. If any leaves are left behind in the oil, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper towels as well.
  • Return the pan with the oil to medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, 20-25 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Stir in the spinach and cook for 2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring, until completely melted and incorporated into the onions and spinach.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems over a cutting board. Crush with your fingers or finely chop with a knife.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the fried rosemary and serve with pita chips, toasted bread, or crudités.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dip will be. Use fresh spinach, Swiss cheese, and bacon. You can also use your favorite caramelized onion recipe or store-bought caramelized onions.
  • Don't overcook the bacon: Crispy bacon is best for this dip. Cook it until it's browned and crispy, but not too hard.
  • Use a good quality cheese: Swiss cheese is a classic choice for this dip, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Just wilt it for a few minutes until it's bright green and tender.
  • Serve the dip warm: This dip is best served warm, so make sure to heat it through before serving. You can also serve it cold, but it's not as good.

Conclusion:

Bacon, Spinach, Swiss, and Caramelized Onion Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. It's cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover bacon and spinach. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
