Warm Pecan, Cheese and Bacon Dip Recipe

 

There are definite modifications you can do to make it a little more low fat. When I made this the first time, we used low fat cream cheese and mayo but it is the holidays, so indulge as needed.  
 

Cheese and Bacon Dip Recipe

 
This is a great appetizer for the evening but even better for a brunch or mid-morning party. You will not be able to eat just one bite, trust me.
 
 
Mix the cheese and green onion in a mixer to get the best consistency.  Place in a pie plate.
 
 
 
 
Store in the fridge or add the crackers and bake immediately. 
 
 
 
Once Baked add the bacon and pepper jelly. 
 
 
 
 
See note about our modification to the original recipe. 
 
 
This was served with rice crackers and water crackers but I am sure any cracker you enjoy will work great.
 
 
Just be sure to have a little appetizer knife so you can scoop this warm bacon and cheese appetizer onto the crackers.
 
Some people might think you need a spoon. 

What type of Jelly can I use for this Bacon dip? 

My friend purchased the pepper jelly Glaze online but you might be able to dilute another pepper jelly you have locally or try our recipe for Jalapeño Pepper Jelly.  

The recipe calls for a glaze which is more watery than jelly. Since we can’t find the glaze,  perhaps adding a little liquid to jelly to get it into a runny consistency might work. 

Heat a 1/2 cup of our Jalapeno Pepper Jelly with 2 tablespoons of toasted chopped pecans in the microwave for about 60-90 seconds. 

Heating the jelly will definitely make it to the correct consistency and adding toasted pecans replicated the elusive sauce. 

Can I make this Warm Pecan, Cheese and Bacon Dip Recipe ahead of time? 

Of course, you can prepare the bacon ahead of time and leave it wrapped in the fridge.

Simply mix the cheeses and green onion, place in your prepared pan, cover and put in the fridge until you are ready to bake it. 

We recommend you take the dip out and let it sit at room temperature while you preheat the oven.

Do I have you convinced to try this yet? Guest rave over it and can’t get enough!
