Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Base
- 1 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 5.3 ounce garlic and herb Boursin cheese
Toppings
- 1 (9 ounce) jar fig jam
- 10 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: Place the softened cream cheese and Boursin cheese into a food processor or use an electric mixer. Blend until the mixture is whipped, smooth, and creamy.
- Spread Cheese Layer: Transfer the whipped cheese mixture to a serving dish or pie dish, spreading it evenly to form the base layer.
- Add Fig Jam: Evenly spread the fig jam over the whipped cheese layer, creating a sweet contrast.
- Top with Bacon and Pecans: Sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon and chopped pecans over the fig jam layer to add savory flavor and crunchy texture.
- Serve: Serve the layered dip immediately with crackers, bread, or vegetables and enjoy.
Notes
- The cream cheese should be softened to ensure easy blending and a smooth texture.
- You can prepare the dip a few hours ahead and refrigerate it, but add the pecans just before serving to keep them crunchy.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add extra nuts or herbs for texture.
- This dip pairs well with a variety of crackers, toasted baguette slices, or raw veggies like celery and carrots.
