This warm dip is so addictive! Leeks, beer and white cheddar.

Provided by Laurie McNamara

Categories     Appetizers & Snacks

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 leek (white and light green parts only)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
7 ounces sharp white cheddar (grated and divided)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons dark beer

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°.
  • Trim, halve and slice the leek into half moons. Place the leek slices in a bowl of water and swish them around, breaking them up with your fingers. The sandy dirt will fall to the bottom. Remove the leaks, drain and pat dry.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted add in the clean leeks. Cook until softened about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove the skillet off of the heat.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, two-thirds of the grated cheddar and the beer. Add in the cooked leaks and stir until smooth.
  • Spread the leek dip into the same small oven-safe skillet {or a 1-1/2 to 2 quart baking dish) and top with the remaining grated cheese.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minute or until bubbly and lightly golden.
  • Let the dip cool before serving.

Creamy Artichoke and Leek Dip image

I was at my friend Kym's place yesterday and we shared some of this for lunch... it was so good, we ended up eating almost 3/4 of a box of crackers with this yummy dip! This recipe was originally from Homebasics.ca, but was altered slightly. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Provided by KindergartenMom

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 3 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise or 1 cup Hellmann's light mayonnaise
1 (1 7/8 ounce) package Knorr Leek mix (the recipe recommends the 1.8 oz. pkg of Knorr Cream of Leek soup mix... but 'Zaar doesn't recognize)
1 cup sour cream
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 -2 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and spread into a 1 L casserole dish. Bake uncovered in a preheated 350ºF oven for approximately 30 minutes (or until heated).
  • Serve with sliced crusty French bread, crackers or tortilla chips.
  • (As my friend and I learned, this recipe is also wonderful served cold the next day - but we did find that it was a little oily [from the cheese], so make sure you mix it really well or drain off some of the oil if you're re-serving this.).
  • Note: I have no idea how many servings there actually are - I'm "guesstimating" 1/4 cup per person, but that's completely a guess!
