mmmm… bacon…
here’s another recipe in ode to bacon. this gluten-free, creamy dip is surprisingly easy to prepare and makes for a great appetizer for your next dinner party, gameday or — you guessed it — baconpalooza!
the bacon:
- heat up 1-2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil in large saucepan on medium heat
- add 5-6 strips of country-style bacon to pan
- fry bacon in pan for a few min until slightly crispy on both sides
- remove from heat & set aside bacon on plate to cool
- pat bacon w/ papertowels to remove excess fat & oil
- reserve bacon fat in pan to add to dip mixture
the dip:
in a small mixing bowl, mix & fold together the following ingredients together until well-combined:
- 1/4 cup low-fat, plain greek yogurt
- 100g chevre frais
- crispy-fried bacon (rough chop into bacon bits)
- 5-6 small dried figs (rough chop into small pieces)
- season w/ ground black peppercorns
- drizzle bacon fat leftover from pan
food styling:
- serve immediately, best served warm
- pairs well w/ gluten-free chips or your fave crackers

Yummy – what an interesting, yet delicious sounding, recipe!
