This little diddy hits that savory-meets-sweet combination perfectly while not going too wild with richness. It’s creamy, gooey, cheesy, and a great vehicle for all things crunchy. I wanted something in which to dip my fave dried veggie chips and this blue cheese and fig blend hits.the.spot.
The best part of this recipe is that it’s a one bowl dish! Mix up the ingredients in a little casserole dish (I love mini dishes!), toss into the oven, and then dip into it straight from the dish with a pita or chip… or your finger.
The macros aren’t too shabby either, especially for a dish filled with cheeeeeese.
