  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup half and half

    TO PREPARE:

         Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost crisp, about 7 minutes.  Drain excess fat from skillet.  Add garlic and cook until bacon is crisp, about 3 minutes.
         Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat cream cheese until smooth.  Add half and half and mix until combined.  Stir in bacon mixture, blue cheese, and chives.  Transfer to a 2-cup ovenproof serving dish and cover with foil.  Bake until thoroughly heated, about 30 minutes.  Sprinkle with chopped almonds.  Serve with sliced apples, toasted pita crisps or French bread.

    NOTE:      May be prepared 1 day in advance.  Refrigerate or freeze.  Bring to room temperature before baking.
