It’s no secret that I love mascarpone cheese—and who doesn’t love bacon? Stir them together and you have a super-creamy, elegant dip that tastes like the most decadently topped baked potato you’ve ever had. The mix is surprisingly versatile, too: thin it down a bit with milk and use it as a dressing for greens or a sauce for salmon or chicken.

Preparation
Step 1
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F.
Step 2
Cut each pita into 8 wedges. Arrange the pita wedges in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the oil, then sprinkle with the oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until crisp and golden. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the bacon, mascarpone cheese, sour cream, and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
Step 4
Arrange the pita chips and dip on a platter and serve.
