Rich, creamy and infused with smoky bacon and the bite of scallions, this Bacon Scallion Cream Cheese is a great addition to your breakfast table.
Is there anything better than breakfast foods? I seriously don't think so, unless you're eating breakfast foods at non-breakfast times. And this bacon scallion cream cheese can be eaten any time of day, and you wont be sorry.
I love putting stuff into other stuff, and cream cheese is a perfect vehicle for that. The rich smokiness of the bacon is perfectly paired with the lush creaminess of the cream cheese, and then add in the sweet bite of the scallion, and you've got a condiment that goes perfectly with basically anything you can think of.

Tips and Tricks
- This is great right after you make it, but if you let it sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight, the flavors will meld and it will be even better.

I can think of basically a million things:
- Spread it on crackers
- Mix it into scrambled eggs
- Stuff chicken breasts with it
- Spread it on a grilled cheese
- Dip veggies in it
How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
Can you freeze leftovers?
I wouldn't recommend it. While you can freeze cream cheese, it does something funky to the texture once it thaws, which makes it unusable for anything other than baking. Since you would be using this as a spread, I would just try to eat the batch while it's fresh.
