How To Make Baked Blue Cheese Dip
- Mix the dip ingredients. Combine the soft cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic until smooth. Gently fold in the bacon and blue cheese crumbles.
- Bake. Pour the dip into an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Once it’s hot and bubbling, remove it from the oven and top with green onions and additional bacon if desired.
Recipe Tips & Variations
- Mixer. For easy mixing, use a stand mixer or electric beaters to blend the dip ingredients together. Avoid whipping extra air into the dip by just mixing it until everything is smooth.
- Make Ahead. Consider mixing the dip mixture a day in advance. Store it tightly covered overnight in the baking dish, then pop it in the oven when it’s almost serving time.
- Dippers. Serve this dip with tortilla chips, toasted baguette, or fresh vegetables like carrots or celery.
- Best Quality. Use high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, feel free to substitute it with shredded cheddar or Gouda instead.
- Vegetarian? Feel free to omit the bacon for a vegetarian version of this dip. Alternatively, you can substitute tempeh “bacon” or another type of vegetarian bacon.
