Description

Cheese and bacon butter is a rich, flavorful spread that combines creamy butter with crispy bacon and tangy cheese. Perfect for slathering on warm bread, spreading on crackers, or adding a decadent touch to steaks, burgers, or baked potatoes.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup crispy bacon, finely chopped (about 4 strips)
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra tang)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon:
    • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then chop into fine pieces. Let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Butter Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, grated cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using). Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Incorporate Bacon and Herbs:
    • Gently fold in the chopped bacon and fresh herbs until evenly distributed.
  4. Shape or Store:
    • Transfer the mixture to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log shape and twist the ends to seal. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
    • Alternatively, store in an airtight container if you prefer to use it as a spreadable butter.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Slice or scoop the butter as needed. Serve on warm bread, toast, or alongside grilled meats and vegetables.

Notes

  • Use smoked cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor twist.
  • The butter can be frozen for up to 3 months. Slice before freezing for easy portioning.
  • Adjust the garlic powder and pepper to taste.
