Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds

Instructions

  1. Mix Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for your dip.
  2. Add Cheeses and Bacon: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled cooked bacon evenly into the mixture for rich flavor and texture.
  3. Incorporate Almonds: Gently fold in the toasted slivered almonds to add a nutty crunch that balances the creaminess.
  4. Season: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning to personal preference.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve: Serve chilled with an assortment of crackers, pita chips, or vegetable sticks, making it an ideal appetizer for any party or gathering.

Notes

  • To toast slivered almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  • For the best texture and flavor, use full-fat cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream.
  • This dip can be prepared a day in advance to deepen the flavor even further.
