Short Description

A savoury blend of creamy cheese, and smoky bacon, this ring-shaped appetizer offers a rich, irresistible flavour in every bite.

Filling:

½ cup cream cheese

⅓ cup mayonnaise

3 cups cheddar cheese

⅓ cup bacon bits, cooked hard

3 tablespoons green onions

½ teaspoon cayenne

Topping:

3 oz strawberry preserves

3 tablespoons toasted pecans

Roast the pecans in the oven at 350ºF for 15 minutes, then grind them in a food processor.

Put the filling ingredients into a food processor and pulse until combined, being careful not to over-mix. (This step can also be done manually.)

Move the mixture to a plate and form it into a ring or circle. Top with strawberry preserves and toasted pecans, and serve with Ritz crackers
