CREAM CHEESE GARLIC DIP



Cream Cheese Garlic Dip image

This is an incredibly easy cream cheese & garlic dip that I first tasted about fifty years ago and have been eating and making ever since. Neighbors of my parents made this and brought it to a New Year's Eve Party my folks gave and this recipe has been passed on to one and all who have had it. You can serve it as prepared or get creative and add different ingredients to suit your own tastes. I routinely add chives either fresh or freeze dried depending what I have on hand and I have sliced up stuffed green olives and that was good as well, a little salty but it had a good taste. The other nice thing with this recipe is you can double, triple, etc. using as much or as little garlic as you like. It is best served with rippled or dipping potato chips or even veggies. I have found that the lite brand cream cheeses are not as good to use in this recipe with the taste and consistency defintely affected. Try it, you'll like it.

HOMEMADE GARLICKY CHEESE CRACKERS



Homemade Garlicky Cheese Crackers image

Making cheese crackers at home may sound daunting but actually they are quite easy. They require a little more work, then they're worth it. Crackers don't need to be an afterthought. These particular crackers are definitely worthy of their own place on your menu. No weird ingredients or fancy kitchen gadgets needed. You only need some ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen all the time, a cookie cutter, and an oven. That's all! These are super crispy, buttery, and perfect for a snack but if topped and loaded with cheese and herbs, ideal as a side dish.

Categories     Crackers

Time 1h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
⅔ cup cold water
coarse sea salt to taste
¼ cup mascarpone cheese
¼ cup grated Cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and dill in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine or you can mix manually as well. Add 4 tablespoons melted butter and vegetable oil and pulse to combine.
  • With food processor on low speed, slowly drizzle in water until the dough begins to form a ball. Remove dough from food processor and cover with a plastic wrap. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Roll out dough as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface; thinner than pie crust if possible, thin like crepes works best. Cut the dough into your desired shapes with a cookie cutter, or cut with a knife or pizza cutter and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Let it rest for another 10 minutes.
  • Using a toothpick, prick several holes in each cracker. Don't skip this step; you will not have nice, flat crackers if you skip.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush the tops with remaining melted butter, and immediately sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Remove from baking sheets and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • While crackers cool, prepare cheese topping: Mix mascarpone, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses with parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Sprinkle over crackers and serve.

GARLICKY CAESAR DIP



Garlicky Caesar Dip image

This dip is inspired by classic Caesar dressing, with plenty of garlic and anchovy to wake things up. (You can even make it dairy-free, if you like, by using vegan cream cheese, substituting 1/3 cup nutritional yeast for the Parmesan, and adding an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt.) Serve it with a platter of raw or lightly blanched vegetables sprinkled with sea salt and dig in. Leftovers make a killer spread on a turkey sandwich, or a stellar accompaniment to grilled steak.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dip. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the garlic. Garlic can quickly burn, so be careful not to cook it for too long. If you overcook the garlic, it will taste bitter.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dip. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Serve the dip warm. This dip is best served warm, so make sure to heat it up before serving. You can heat it up in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Garnish the dip with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a touch of elegance and make your dip look more appetizing.

Conclusion:

This garlicky cheese dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Serve it with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or bread. You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. This dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
