White Bean Dip with Garlicky Cheese

This cheesy garlicky white bean dip is so easy to prepare. You can make this dip in about 10 minutes and be snacking away before you know it. Of course, if you let it sit for a bit in the frig, the flavors will meld together and taste even better.

The easy part of this white bean dip is that it uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry or refrigerator. Canned white beans are the base. You can use Cannellini, White Kidney Beans, White Navy Beans, Great Northern Beans, whatever you have in the cupboard will do.

Cheese spread is also something we often have in our refrigerators. Several companies make a garlic and herb variety, the most popular are Alouette, Boursin, and Rondele.

You can use Sriracha, Tabasco, Crystal, Texas Pete, Cholula, or even Frank’s RedHot for the pepper sauce. Again using what you have on hand and what suits your taste will make this dip customized to your family.

You can just dump all the ingredients into the food processor or blender and spin away. But I like to drain the beans, reserving the liquid. This way you can adjust the thickness of the final product.

Change Up This White Bean Dip To Suit Your Needs!

As a dip, you will probably want the white beans and cheese to be a little thinner. This makes it easier for your family and guest to dip their chips or veggies.

When made with less liquid, this cheesy garlicky concoction makes a great spread on your crostini. Just add some chopped tomatoes, peppers, and garlic on top and pop in the oven for crispy bites of goodness.

White beans will readily accept any flavor you want to add in. You could choose a different cheese spread, like Pub Cheese with Jalapenos, and serve with corn chips. Or a spread with basil and chives for a more Italian flavor. With the holiday season coming up, you could choose a cranberry and spice cheese spread for all the warm flavors of fall!
