Goat Cheese & Tomato Dip with Candied Bacon

Ingredients

16oz Goat Cheese

½ cup Sour Cream

½ jar Lighthouse Keeper’s Spicy Tomato Jam

Candied bacon:

8 slices Bacon, chopped

2 tsp Maple Syrup

1 tsp Paprika

½ tsp Chipotle Chili Powder

2 tsp Brown Sugar

2 tsp Cape Cod Saltworks Rosemary Sea Salt

Instructions:

Get the bacon crispy in a skillet. Once it’s crisp, skim out some of the fat, add a drizzle of maple syrup and remove from heat. Add smoked paprika, chipotle, chili powder, brown sugar and rosemary sea salt. Mix well to coat the bacon.

Remove bacon from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel.

Add the goat cheese to a food processor with cream cheese and salt. Then whip everything together until the cheese is light and creamy. Spoon the cheese onto a plate or into a bowl. Spread tomato jam in the center, sprinkle the bacon and top.
