Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 6 slices Cooked bacon (crisply chopped)
- 4 ounces Blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 assorted servings Vegetables, crackers, or bread (for serving)
Instructions
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans, sour cream, cream cheese, sautéed garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Transfer the bean mixture to a medium oven-safe dish or skillet. Stir in half of the crumbled blue cheese and half of the chopped bacon.
Top the dip with the remaining blue cheese and bacon for added texture and flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the dip for 10 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color, if desired.
Serve warm with your choice of vegetables, crackers, or toasted bread slices.
