Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• Base:
• 8 oz light cream cheese softened
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper jack
• ¼ cup cooked sugar-free bacon chopped
• ¼ cup canned jalapeños drained and finely chopped
• 1 tsp minced garlic or ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp Dijon mustard optional
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Topping:
• 2 tbsp almond flour or crushed pork rinds
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tbsp crumbled bacon for garnish

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe ramekin.
3. Stir together cream cheese, yogurt, cheeses, bacon, jalapeños, garlic, paprika, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. If the dip feels loose from the canned jalapeños, add 1 tbsp shredded cheddar or 1 tsp almond flour.
5. Spoon into the baking dish, smooth the surface, then sprinkle the almond-flour topping evenly.
6. Bake 18–20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
7. (Optional: Broil 1–2 minutes for a crisp crust.)
8. Cool slightly and top with more bacon and jalapeño slices before serving.
