CREAMY GOAT CHEESE, BACON AND DATE DIP



Creamy Goat Cheese, Bacon and Date Dip image

This appetizer is like a bacon-wrapped date in dip form - and every bit as luxe, sweet and simultaneously smoky as that sounds. Here, as you swipe crusty bread through the smooth cheese, you'll gather chunks of bacon and a bit of date, toffee-like from a quick fry in the meaty fat. You could embellish further, with nuts, chile or honey, or you could sip Champagne and dig in just as merrily - with friends hovering nearby for their turn.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper
5 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut in 1/2-inch thick
10 Medjool dates, pitted and cut into quarters lengthwise, or roughly chopped
Honey, red-pepper flakes, black pepper, flaky salt, toasted sliced almonds or chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)
Crusty bread, grainy crackers, endive or fennel, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish or ovenproof skillet, and spread into an even layer. Bake until warmed through and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, then add the dates to the bacon fat in the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the insides are warm and the outsides blister, about 1 minute.
  • Top the baked cheese with the dates and bacon, and garnish as you wish. Serve at once.
