1 carton (8 oz.) mascarpone cheese*
1/4 cup minced fresh chives**
1/4 cup sour cream
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the ingredients. Chill until serving. Serve with pita chips, crackers, and/or fresh veggies for dipping. Make the dip 2-3 days in advance for the best flavor.
* I couldn't find mascarpone cheese anywhere, despite the extensive cheese selection at our local King Soopers, so I used this "mascarpone substitution" recipe in its place:
1 brick (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tbsp. sour cream
** I used green onions instead of chives, which worked out great. So maybe the recipe title should be "Fake Mascarpone Scallion Dip!"
