Ingredients
- 6 oz blue cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 8 slices bacon
- 3 tbsp chives
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small sheet of foil. Drizzle with olive oil, fold the foil to seal, and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then mash the roasted garlic with a fork.
Step 3
While the garlic is roasting, cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop into small pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and mashed roasted garlic. Mix well until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Stir in half of the chopped bacon and half of the chives, reserving the rest for garnish. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into an ovenproof baking dish. Spread evenly and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbling and lightly browned on top.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining bacon and chives over the top for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm with crostini, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
