Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions, divided
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted, divided
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix them together until the texture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the base.
- Gently fold in the cooked, crumbled bacon and half of the chopped green onions.
- Spread the mixture into a serving dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining green onions and the toasted slivered almonds over the top of the dip for garnish and crunch.
- Cover the dish and chill the Neiman Marcus Dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve cold with your favorite crackers, tortilla chips, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- To toast the almonds, spread them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch them closely as they burn quickly.
- You can assemble this dip up to 24 hours ahead of time. Keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
