Bacon Olive Cheese Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp; drain. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the next 6 ingredients. Stir in bacon. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• 1. Whip the cream cheese, with electric mixer, until smooth.
• 2. Add the olive juice a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want the cream cheese smooth, easy to spread, but not runny, so you may not use all of the reserved juice.
• 3. Stir in olives. If you can, allow to stand for 15-20 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve with crackers (I like triskets)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Roughly chop both the black olives and pimiento-stuffed green olives. Slice the green onions into thin pieces.
• Combine the butter, mayonnaise, cheese, olives and green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
• Spread the mixture onto the French bread. Bake until the cheese is melted and browning, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In food processor, chop the olives and pimentos. Put into a bowl and set aside.
• Place the cream cheese, onion powder and cajun seasoning into the food processor and process until creamy. Remove to a mixing bowl.
• Add the olives, bacon pieces, and shredded cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon. Form mixture into a ball. (It may be too soft to make the ball at this point, but do the best you can. You will be able to handle it better after the next step)
• Wrap the "ball" in a sheet of wax paper and put into the freezer for approx 20 minutes.
• Remove the ball from the freezer, reshape the ball and roll in pecan pieces until covered. Refrigerate in airtight container. Remove from refrigerator approx 1 hour before serving. Serve with Club, Ritz, or your favorite cracker.

Steps:

• With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• On a cutting board, cut each bacon slice crosswise into 3 equal pieces. Roll an olive in each bacon piece, securing with a toothpick. Place on the baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is nicely browned and crisp 30 to 35 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve in a large bowl.
• NOTE : Taste the olives the day before making the recipe. If they are too salty, soak them in cold water for up to 24 hours.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in medium bowl.
• Adjust spices to taste.
• If it is too thick, add a touch of olive oil or bacon drippings.
• Spread on crackers and ENJOY!

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. Spread on crackers or bread.
