Units
Scale
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I used a combination of cheddar, Gruyère and Parmesan)
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove all the water
- 1/2 cup chopped chives
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Crackers, vegetables or baguette slices, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 2-cup baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden-brown. Remove to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Crumble into small pieces and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, 1 1/4 cup shredded cheese, thoroughly drained spinach, crumbled bacon, chives and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Serve hot with crackers, veggies and/or baguette slices for dipping.
