Step 1

Cook the bacon, let it cool and crumble. You can also use store bought, pre-cooked bacon.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, minced garlic and Gruyere cheese until fully combined.

Step 3

In a deep, large glass salad bowl, start layering the dip: 1/3 cream cheese mixture, sprinkle 1/3 silvered almonds, followed by 1/3 of the grated cheddar cheese, 1/3 of the bacon and 1/3 of the green onions.

Step 4

Repeat the layers two more times.

Step 5

Serve immediately with crackers or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 6

It is best to consume the dip in 1-2 days, after that the texture will change. Also, the bacon hardens the more you keep it in the fridge.

Step 7

Enjoy!
