Dry fry bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and fry onion in bacon fat until soft. Drain well.

Crumble cheese into a food processor and add bacon and onion and a little cream. Blend until smooth, gradually adding remaining cream. Transfer to a small saucepan and heat gently.

Stir in pepper to taste and serve warm.
