Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

Nuts and Dairy

  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8-oz.)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Meat

  • 8 slices bacon

Vegetables and Spices

  • 4 green onions, sliced thin and divided
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • tsp. cayenne

To Serve

  • Buttery crackers
  • bagel chips

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, toast the almonds until lightly golden and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
  • In the same large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon, turning as needed, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Let the bacon cool to room temperature, then crumble it into bite-size pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise until very smooth. Fold in the cheese, toasted almonds, cooked bacon, 3 green onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. Stir until well combined.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap or an airtight lid, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Garnish with the remaining green onion and serve with crackers, bagel chips, and hot sauce.
