Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Slivered Almonds Toasted
  • 8 Ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ Pound Cooked Bacon Chopped or Crumbled (8 to 9 slices)
  • 4 Green Onions Thinly Sliced
  • 1 Cup Swiss Cheese Shredded (Jarlsberg)
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded
  • ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Toast Almonds. Toast the slivered almonds in a small frying pan over medium-low heat for 4 to 6 minutes until they are golden brown. Shake the pan often to prevent the almonds from becoming too brown.
    Pro Tip – If you smell the nuts toasting the heat is too high and they are burning.
    ½ Cup Slivered Almonds
  • Beat Cream Cheese. Beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a large-sized bowl with a wire whisk until it is soft and fluffy.
    8 Ounces Cream Cheese, 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • Combine All Ingredients. Add the toasted slivered almonds, chopped bacon, green onions, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper, and mix well.
    ½ Pound Cooked Bacon, 4 Green Onions, 1 Cup Swiss Cheese, 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder, ¼ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Chill and Serve. Transfer the dip to a container for the refrigerator, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the flavors to meld and marry.
    Serve the dip with crackers, small toasts, and celery sticks.

Notes

My Top Tips
♡ Make this dip at least 2 hours before serving it so that the flavors can develop throughout the dip.
♡ This is a firm dip and thin chips just won't work. So, serve it as a dip or a spread with slices of toasted baguettes, hearty crackers, and firm veggies.
