Ingredients for Bacon And Tomato Spread

  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • Tomatoes
  • 4 slices bacon

How to Make Bacon And Tomato Spread

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt and 1/2 cup of finely chopped tomatoes to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.
  4. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove bacon from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble bacon into small pieces.
  6. Just before serving, gently fold the crumbled bacon into the cream cheese mixture.
  7. If the spread is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately with party rye rounds, crackers, or vegetables.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
