An American Patzaria - Creamy Beet Spread With Blue Cheese And Bacon

1. 1

   Scrub the beets, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, enclose in a foil packet and roast at 350 degrees for 40 minutes to an hour, or until tender. Let cool and chop into a fine dice.

2. 2

   Fry the bacon until crisp. Let cool, and chop finely.

3. 3

   Combine the yogurt and the blue cheese in a small bowl and mash with a fork until the cheese in incorporated into the yogurt.

4. 4

   Add the chopped beets, bacon and the chives. Mix thoroughly until the entire mixture is a rather alarming magenta hue (this actually helps convince 3 year old girls to eat it, believe it or not). The mixture may be covered and stored in the refrigerator right away, or eaten immediately.

5. 5

   Serve with toasted pita triangles. Enjoy.
