Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer
  • Serving bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8-ounce block of softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup creamy mayonnaise
  • 1 8-ounce package shredded sharp cheddar cheese (approximately 2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 green onions finely sliced and divided
  • 8 strips of crispy bacon
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dash of cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. Once you have everything, you’ll find the prep to be seamless.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, blend these two until super smooth. You want a silky consistency that invites you in.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. This will provide that sharp, rich flavor we all love. Follow this with Dijon mustard and a dash of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
  • Now, fold in the crumbled bacon, sliced almonds, chopped parsley, and half of the green onions. This step ensures you get all those delightful textures and flavors mixed in.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it, and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This waiting period lets the flavors marry beautifully.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: This dip can be made a day in advance. Letting it sit overnight lets the flavors deepen.
  • Serving Style: Serve it with a sprinkle of extra green onions on top for a colorful presentation.
  • Consistent Texture: Make sure your cream cheese is soft enough. It blends more smoothly when it's at room temperature.
  • Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to cut back on ingredients. For instance, you can use less bacon or cheese if you're looking to lighten it up a little.
  • Food Pairings: Experiment! Try serving the dip with different sides - the more the merrier!
