Bacon Blue Cheese Dressing

Bleu Cheese Dressing is my favorite dressing! Decided to make my own version with some extra flavors that I love such as bacon and thyme.

Step 1

Cut bacon into matchstick thin strips (lardons). Starting in a cold pan add your bacon and place over medium heat. Slowly render the bacon until very crisp. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve bacon fat for a later cook.

Step 2

Once cooled, mince bacon as fine as you'd like it in the final sauce.

Step 3

Pick enough fresh thyme leaves to fill a teaspoon once minced. You will need probably 1.5 teaspoons pre mince. Mince and measure your thyme.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl combine creme fraiche/sour cream, buttermilk, mayo, thyme, lemon juice, salt, msg, black pepper, bacon bits, and grate in 1 clove of garlic. Mix well to fully combine.

Step 5

Crumble in blue cheese. Whisk well. You want to break up some of the blue cheese to combine into the sauce while leaving some whole chunks.

Step 6

You can serve immediately as a dressing or dip but the sauce will thicken and improve in flavor as it sits. Best served the next day.
