My grandmother makes this smoky bacon and Parmesan spread for parties and holiday get-togethers. For a pretty yuletide presentation, accent the cream cheese wreath with parsley and pimientos. Ingredients:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup sliced green onions, optional |
10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
parsley sprigs and diced pimientos, optional |
assorted crackers |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and onions if desired. Stir in bacon. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
2. Invert a small bowl in the center of a serving platter. Drop cream cheese mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls around edge of bowl. Remove bowl. Smooth cream cheese mixture, forming a wreath. Garnish with parsley and pimientos if desired. Serve with crackers. Yield: about 3 cups.
