A delightful dip combining creamy cheese, crispy bacon, and crunchy almonds, perfect for gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect bubbly texture.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then let it cool and crumble into small pieces.
Cooking the bacon until crispy ensures it adds a delightful crunch to the dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, shredded Swiss cheese, and chopped green onions.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, then transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
Folding gently prevents the bacon from breaking down too much.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the dip to avoid over-browning.
Sprinkle the crushed smoked almonds on top before serving.
Adding the almonds just before serving keeps them crunchy.
Serve warm with your choice of crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.
Serving warm enhances the flavors and ensures the cheese is perfectly melty.
