Ingredients

  • 2 tsp MagicalButter

  • 1 Pineapple cored and sliced
  • 8 ounces bacon
  • 4 Cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 – 2 Habanero peppers stemmed seeded and very finely minced
  • 2 Blocks light cream cheese (8 ounce)
  • 1 Cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1 Cup sliced green onions
  • 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (1 1/2 cups)
  • 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (1 1/2 cups)

Directions

  1. Add your MagicalButter to a cast iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the pan is hot place a few pineapple slices in at a time. Cook the pineapple slices without flipping or moving them at all until they are lightly browned about 3-4 minutes. Cook both sides then set the cooked pineapple aside on a plate and continue until all of the pineapple has been browned.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add in the bacon a few slices at a time. Cook flipping once until crisp. Transfer cooked bacon strips to a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess grease.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  5. Chop up the bacon and pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Pour off most of the bacon grease from the pan leaving just a bit for cooking the garlic and habanero. Add the garlic and habanero and cook until fragrant about 30 seconds. Stir in the cream cheese and mayonnaise. Allow the cream cheese to melt and then add in the seasonings. Stir until evenly distributed. Do the same with the bacon pineapple and green onion reserving a bit of each for topping. Mix in half of the shredded cheeses and smooth the dip mixture evenly into the pan. Top with the remaining shredded cheeses.
  7. Transfer the dip to the oven and bake until all of the cheese on top is melted and beginning to bubble about 10 minutes.
  8. Serve warm with chips crackers pita bread or pretzels to dip.

Why Choose MCT Oil for Herbal Infusions?

Many people ask, "What is MCT oil?" and wonder why it works so well for infusion. MCT oil is a concentrated form of medium-chain triglyceride oil that is rapidly metabolized by the body.

MCT oil absorbs faster than many traditional fats. This means infused compounds may reach the bloodstream more efficiently.

MCT oil, whether infused or not, also provides a noticeable energy boost. This makes it appealing for people who want both infusion and metabolic support.

How Does an Herb-Infused Oil Work in the Body?

An herb-infused oil delivers fat-soluble compounds through digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Because MCT oil is processed quickly, uptake may occur faster than with heavier oils.

Research shows infusions with MCT oil tend to reach the bloodstream more quickly, so you may not need to wait as long to notice effects. Faster absorption can allow smaller serving sizes to feel effective.

What Makes This MCT Oil Recipe More Consistent?

This MCT oil recipe uses fixed temperature and automated blending. Controlled heat protects delicate compounds from degradation. Consistency begins with temperature control.

Sunflower lecithin improves emulsification. That helps distribute botanical compounds evenly through the oil.

How to Use MCT Oil in Everyday Recipes

If you are wondering how to use MCT oil after infusing, start with small measured amounts. It blends easily into smoothies, coffee, sauces, and baked goods.

Herb-infused MCT oil typically has a more neutral flavor. This makes it flexible for both sweet and savory dishes. Start low and measure carefully.

Everything You Need for Reliable Oil Infusions

Reliable oil infusions come from the right tools working together from start to finish. When preparation, infusion, straining, and storage are aligned, results become repeatable and easy to manage.

The right equipment turns a simple recipe into a controlled process. Each tool supports consistency, cleanliness, and accurate measuring.

Magical Bakers Bundle

The Magical Bakers Bundle brings the full infusion system into one package. It includes:

The MB2e MagicalButter Machine

DecarBox Thermometer Combo Pack

Sunflower Lecithin Powder

A 190 Micron Filter

Measuring cups

A silicone heat-resistant glove

Magical 21UP Butter Mold

This bundle supports precise activation, automated infusion, safe handling, and clean filtration. Using a complete system reduces variation between batches and protects potency.

Mason Jars for Clean Storage

Store herb-infused oil in a sealed glass jar away from light. Refrigeration slows oxidation and preserves freshness. Mason jars provide durable glass storage that helps preserve freshness.

Glass does not react with oil and does not absorb flavor. Sealed lids limit oxygen contact and extend shelf stability.

Gummy Mix 4 Pack for Recipe Expansion

Once your MCT oil recipe is complete, you can turn that infusion into finished creations. The Gummy Mix 4 Pack allows you to convert infused oil into measured gummy servings.

Magical Gummy Molds for Accurate Portions

Portion size matters when working with concentrated oil. Magical Gummy Molds provide uniform cavities for even distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCT Oil and Why is it Different?

Medium-chain triglyceride oil is a refined fat sourced mainly from coconut oil. Its shorter chain length allows faster digestion compared to long-chain fats.

This property makes it ideal for infusion because it carries compounds efficiently. It also remains liquid at room temperature, which simplifies measuring and blending.

Is This MCT Oil Recipe Beginner-Friendly?

Yes. Automated temperature cycles simplify the process. Due to this, the risk of mistakes is lower.

Is It Better To Use Refined Or Unrefined MCT Oil?

Refined MCT oil typically has a neutral taste and lighter texture. This makes it easier to blend into recipes without affecting flavor.

Unrefined versions may have a mild coconut note depending on sourcing. For precise recipe control, most people prefer refined oil.

Can I Use Other Oils Instead of MCT Oil?

Yes, but other oils may absorb more slowly. Olive oil and butter contain long-chain fats that digest differently.

MCT oil often provides a cleaner flavor and improved stability.

How Long Does Herb-Infused Oil Last?

When stored properly in cool conditions, MCT-based infusions can last several months. Light and heat reduce shelf life.
