Provided by Patricia Heaton

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 crusty sourdough or country-style boule, about 7 inches in diameter
3 medium leeks, white and light green part halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pinch cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus a sprig for garnish
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
Assorted raw vegetables for serving, such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, sliced bell peppers and sliced radishes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Make a bread bowl by cutting off the top third of the loaf of bread to expose the inner crumb. Use your fingers to tear out the crumb, trying to keep it in large pieces. Cut or tear the crumb of the bread into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Place the bread bowl and the bread pieces on a baking sheet and bake until slightly dried out and lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
  • Put the leeks in a large bowl of water and wash thoroughly; drain.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks, garlic, cayenne, salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and golden in parts, about 10 minutes. Add the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cream cheese and goat cheese a few spoonfuls at a time, stirring well after each addition, until all of the cheese is smoothly incorporated. Continue to cook, stirring, until the dip is hot, about 3 minutes more. Stir in the dill, lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the bread bowl and garnish with the dill sprig. Serve with the toasted bread and vegetables for dipping. Top with bread top as decoration.

CREAMY ARTICHOKE AND LEEK DIP



Creamy Artichoke and Leek Dip image

I was at my friend Kym's place yesterday and we shared some of this for lunch... it was so good, we ended up eating almost 3/4 of a box of crackers with this yummy dip! This recipe was originally from Homebasics.ca, but was altered slightly. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Provided by KindergartenMom

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 3 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise or 1 cup Hellmann's light mayonnaise
1 (1 7/8 ounce) package Knorr Leek mix (the recipe recommends the 1.8 oz. pkg of Knorr Cream of Leek soup mix... but 'Zaar doesn't recognize)
1 cup sour cream
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 -2 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and spread into a 1 L casserole dish. Bake uncovered in a preheated 350ºF oven for approximately 30 minutes (or until heated).
  • Serve with sliced crusty French bread, crackers or tortilla chips.
  • (As my friend and I learned, this recipe is also wonderful served cold the next day - but we did find that it was a little oily [from the cheese], so make sure you mix it really well or drain off some of the oil if you're re-serving this.).
  • Note: I have no idea how many servings there actually are - I'm "guesstimating" 1/4 cup per person, but that's completely a guess!

This one was hard to post. Its done by taste. I did my best with instructions but solely depends on your taste. How strong do you want it? Add more leeks, etc. But over all a fantastic tasting dip. Reminds me of a ham salad sandwich spread. SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!
