We are movie buffs, and every Oscar night we have a few friends over for cocktails and snacks. Everyone loves this hot cheese dip, which we serve with small cooked new potatoes, crudit?and pita wedges.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 large leeks, (white and light green parts) or small onion, minced
  • 1 cup shredded extra-old cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Preparation

In large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until beginning to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add leek; cook until softened and bacon is crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to 3-cup (750 mL) ovenproof serving dish.

Stir in 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the Cheddar cheese, the sour cream, cream cheese and pepper; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven until cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.
