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!
