Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp . arrowroot powder
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 cups organic half and half
  • 8 oz . grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 oz . cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup chives chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 clove garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3-4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 in can of bpa free tomatoes drained preferably glass

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup whisk together the arrowroot, egg yolk and 1 Tbsp of the half and half until smooth. You can also use a blender.
  2. Add the rest of the half and half, the cream cheese, spices and garlic to the blender and pulse until smooth, about 20 seconds total. Don't overmix this or your half and half will start to turn to butter!
  3. Pour the half and half mixture into a saucepan and add the cheese. Stir over medium heat until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the tomatoes, chives and crumbled bacon. Top with additional chives before serving if desired.
  5. Serve warm. This dip tastes best if the flavors are allowed to meld in the fridge for 24 hours before eating.
