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