To create the ultimate flavor explosion, we recommend using sweet cherry tomatoes for this dip. However, any ripe tomato will still contribute to the tantalizing taste. The key is to find the sweetest tomatoes you can lay your hands on for that burst of natural sweetness that complements the other ingredients. When it comes to the bacon, opt for a smoky variety that strikes the perfect balance between flavor and texture. Lean, chewy bacon works best, as it adds a delightful smokiness without overpowering the other elements of the dip.
Prepare to be enchanted by the harmonious fusion of flavors. The smoky, salty notes from the bacon dance in perfect harmony with the sweet tang of the tomatoes. Creamy cheese and sour cream provide a luscious backdrop, while a touch of cayenne pepper spices things up just enough to tantalize your taste buds.
For optimal texture and flavor distribution, we recommend finely chopping the bacon using a food processor. This creates a consistency resembling ground beef or pork and ensures that the bacon is evenly distributed throughout the dip. Fry it up to release its irresistible flavors, and be sure to drain it well before incorporating it into the dip. (By the way, chopped bacon is also delightful when used in terrines).
