Mum's Mock Chicken Dip
Isn't it great when you eat something and it takes you back to being a child again! Well that’s exactly what this dip does for me. My mum used to make this every time she threw a party or had people for drinks and nibbles. I would always have my own bowl and my own box of crackers and i would go off to some quiet spot and stuff my little face! I still love it now, so much so that i spoon it out of the pan while i'm cooking it (although i am trying to exercise more self control). This is such a quick and easy dip to make with stuff that you would normally have in the house, so a great standby for when people turn up unexpectedly. As for tasting like chicken? well, i’ll let you decide...but i was never convinced. Either way it tastes great!!
Steps
Melt the butter in a saucepan.
Add the diced onion and cook until they soften.
Add the cheese and stir as it melts.
Add the peeled , seeded and finely diced tomato along with the mixed herbs.
Stir in the beaten egg and cook for a couple of minutes.
Mix it all together and pour into a serving bowl.
Serve warm or at room temperature with ritz or crackers of your choice.
Nb: you will need spoons with this.
Its more of a dollop and spread dip than a dipping one !.
