Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon dry English mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan
1/3 cup Onion Jam, recipe follows
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
Chopped chives, for garnish
Serving suggestions: crackers, toasted bread and vegetables
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, salt and Worcestershire, and continue to beat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and the Onion Jam, and mix on low speed until just combined. At this point, cook immediately or store the dip in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Scoop the dip into a baking dish and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and the crumbled bacon. Bake until the cheese melts and the dip begins to bubble, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve the dip with crackers, warm bread and vegetables.
  • In a large frying pan set over medium-low heat, add the oil and then the onions. Add the salt and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the vinegar, sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed and the onions are rich golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread the onion jam on a cookie sheet and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

10 oz frozen spinach, 1 box, thawed and squeezed dry

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.

  • 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!

CREAMY DREAMY SPINACH, ONION, AND BACON DIP



Creamy Dreamy Spinach, Onion, and Bacon Dip image

From my favorite gal of all time!! Dip may made up to 2 days ahead of time, covered and refrigerated. Let stand 20 minutes before baking as directed. (These are Paula's directions, but I had to bake for a few minutes more, as well as place under the broiler for a few minutes to get the top browned). Prep time does not include thawing time for spinach and onions.

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.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use high-quality ingredients, as this will greatly impact the final flavor of the dip.
  • If you don't have caramelized onions on hand, you can easily make your own by slicing an onion and cooking it in a pan with some butter or oil until it is golden brown and caramelized.
  • If you don't have Swiss cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of hard cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan.
  • You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sour cream in the dip to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Be sure to chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Bacon Spinach Swiss Caramelized Onion Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, flavorful texture and the combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, this dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give this recipe a try – you won't be disappointed!
