Broccolli Cheese Dip

Brocolli Cheese Dip with Breadsticks

I was looking for some hors d'oeuvres recipe that I just felt researching in the net last night. I saw this recipe at Epicurious. :) So earlier this day, I went to the local market in Manila and bought some brocolli, the rest of the ingredients was bought in the supermarket (after I made some back and forth exhausting errands this afternoon, I also forgot that I haven't eaten lunch yet! :) I just realize it around 5 pm, I was really hungry. I bought some Jamaican patty by the way plus Fruit Magic's Strawberry Yogurt drink) since you wouldn't be able to find Yogurt, Sharp Cheddar or Cream Cheese in the market streets, well you might see one but I don't think it's 'safe'.

Anyway, I just made the dip tonight. When I first tasted the dip, it was really bland. I decided to add some salt (pepper was included it the recipe) to add some saltiness in it, a couple of teaspoons is good (taste, taste, taste). Then done.

My brother liked it, he said the saltiness of the dip contradicts the sweetness of the breadsticks that he liked. I like it too, I agreed to what he said, its like a match when you think about it. My sisters loved it too. :)

The dip itself has cream cheese and cheddar cheese (sharp) which contains fat and cholesterol but I think with some Yogurt, Scallions, Garlic, and Broccolli it evens out. It's a healthy-fun dip. I'm sure kids will love it.

I also added more garlic, my family loves garlic-y dishes. So there! :D

** You can also dip in Brocolli, Nachos, Pretzels, Chips, etc. :D
