Ingredients
125 g cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, pressed or grated
¼ tsp powdered truffle zest
Pinch pepper
1 cup shredded extra-old white Cheddar cheese
6 slices Schneiders Hickory Smoked Classic Cut Bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Directions
In bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, truffle zest and pepper until fluffy. Fold in remaining ingredients until blended. Scrape into lightly greased 2-cup shallow baking dish.
Bake in 375°F oven until hot, bubbly and light golden on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
Sprinkle with extra chives, if desired.
Serve with crackers, baguette and vegetable dippers. Pair with a charcuterie board including Schneiders Hot Capocollo, Schneiders Genoa Salami, Schneiders European Pepperettes, and German Salami.
Tips: This dip is excellent used as a bagel spread the following day.
Truffle zest is available in specialty gourmet stores and online. If you can’t find it, use ½ tsp truffle oil instead.
