CREAM CHEESE, BACON AND SPINACH DIP



Cream Cheese, Bacon and Spinach Dip image

This is always a hit at parties, and is frequently requested by friends and relations. I got it from my mother many years ago. And if, by some weird chance, you have any leftover, it's great on toast in the morning for breakfast. I serve it with plain crackers and/or carrot and celery crudites.

Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

250 g cream cheese, Spreadable
3 -4 slices bacon, rind removed
80 g frozen spinach

Steps:

  • Grill bacon until well-cooked, but not crispy. If you do this on a rack above an oven tray, much of the fat will drip away. The time will vary according to the type of bacon. Cool bacon for a few minutes, then chop into very small pieces.
  • Microwave frozen spinach according to directions on the package. Drain any liquid.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well-blended, then transfer to a nice serving bowl.
  • Cover with glad wrap and cool in the fridge. If you can prepare this a few hours ahead of time, the flavours will intensify, but it is fine straight away.

My own invention. For those of you who love this appetizer at Montana's Restaurant, this is my attempt to clone it. It's not identical, but I think it's pretty close, and very tasty!

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Chop the Spinach Finely: Finely chopping the spinach will help it blend well with the other ingredients and make the dip smoother.
  • Use Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help it blend smoothly and create a creamy texture.
  • Mix Thoroughly: Mix the ingredients together thoroughly until they are well combined. This will ensure that the dip is smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the Dip: Chill the dip for at least an hour before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and develop, and it will also make the dip easier to spread.
