Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 leek sliced into thin half-moons
- salt to taste
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoon stout beer
- 1 baguette
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large skillet, melt one tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium. Add one leek to the skillet and sprinkle with coarse salt. Cook until tender and slightly caramelized, about 12 minutes.
- Transfer leek mixture to a large bowl and add 2 cups of shredded cheddar, 8 oz package of cream cheese, ¼ cup of mayonnaise, and 3 tablespoons of stout beer. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish and bake until bubbling and browned on top, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve on slices of baguette.
Notes
- such as Guinness or even an Oatmeal Stout works well too.
- Cheese - Don't skimp on the cheese! Using high-quality cheddar cheese will elevate the taste of the dip.
- Stout Beer - I like to use a stout beer such as Guinness or even an Oatmeal Stout works well too.
- Caremelizing - Be patient when caramelizing the leeks; low and slow cooking will develop their sweet flavor without burning them.
- Cheese - Don't skimp on the cheese! Using high-quality cheddar cheese will elevate the taste of the dip.
- Topping - To achieve a golden-brown crust on top, broil the dip for the last few minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Seasonings - For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the dip mixture.
