Extraordinary Cheese Dip

If you're Canadian, and you've ever been to an Epicure party, you've probably tried this hot dip. Since becoming an Epicure consultant myself, I've made this dip a lot... and it rarely leaves the house, hehe.  The blend of cheese and herbs in all it's melty goodness is irresistible.  Here's the smaller version that I make, that is only slightly different from the original.


 Extraordinary Cheese Dip


Extraordinary Cheese Dip
Adapted from Epicure Selections

1/2 block (1/2 cup) cream cheese - softened, regular or light
1/4 cup sour cream, regular or light
1/4 cup mayo, regular or light
1/4 cup grated sharp or old cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated mozzarella
1/2 tsp Epicure's Seasoning for Cheese, Chives & Bacon Dip
1/2 tsp Epicure's Lemon Dilly Dip Mix
1/2 tsp Epicure's 3 Onion Dip Mix

Mix all ingredients together well, by hand or in a food processor.  Scrape into a small oven-proof dish like Epicure's mini baker, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

If you are outside of Canada, I'm sorry for the tease.  Perhaps a trip north this summer is in order?

Enjoy!  (and feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions about ordering Epicure products, hosting a tasting party or becoming a consultant yourself, I'd love to have you on my team!)
