Flavorful Scallion & Bacon Cream Cheese Spread
Secret Tips for Making Delicious Scallion Cream Cheese: Unleashing the Flavor
I made a delicious scallion and bacon cream cheese spread with some leftover cream cheese. It turned out incredibly tasty, and I highly recommend you try making it. This spread is perfect for bagels, toast, or crackers, offering a delightful blend of savory, sweet, and creamy.
Ingredients
- 150g Cream Cheese
- 30g Scallions (about 1/4 stalk)
- 5 strips Bacon
- 1 Tbsp Honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 30g of scallions. Wash the white and green parts of the scallions thoroughly, then mince them as finely as possible. It’s important to get the fragrant flavor of the scallions to blend well with the cream cheese.
Step 2
In a large bowl, place 150g of softened cream cheese. If your cream cheese is cold, let it sit at room temperature for a bit before using it; this will make it much easier to mix with other ingredients.
Step 3
Cut the 5 strips of bacon into bite-sized pieces, about 1 cm wide, lengthwise. You can adjust the thickness or length of the bacon pieces according to your preference.
Step 4
Heat a dry pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced bacon and cook until it’s golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once the bacon is nicely cooked, place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess grease. This step helps reduce the greasiness of the cream cheese and enhances the savory flavor of the bacon.
Step 6
To the bowl with the cream cheese, add the finely minced scallions, the drained crispy bacon, and 1 tablespoon of honey for a touch of sweetness.
Step 7
Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until the cream cheese is evenly combined with the scallions and bacon. Ensure the pieces are well distributed.
Step 8
Generously spread the finished scallion and bacon cream cheese onto a freshly toasted bagel or bread. The savory and crispy bacon, along with the fragrant scallions, creates a truly delicious meal or snack. Enjoy this wonderful creation made from your leftover cream cheese!
