Company Cheese Spread: The Crowd-Pleasing Party Appetizer You’ll Make Again and Again

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare Your Mold
Line a Bundt pan or small ring mold with plastic wrap, making sure it hangs over the sides for easy removal later. Sprinkle the bacon, green onions, and pecans evenly around the bottom — this will become the gorgeous topping once you flip it out.

2. Make the Cheese Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer or sturdy spoon to blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble
Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared Bundt pan, pressing it down gently so it fills all the gaps and holds its shape. Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Chill
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for the best texture and flavor. Chilling helps the spread firm up and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

5. Unmold and Serve
When ready to serve, invert the Bundt pan onto a serving platter and carefully lift it off, removing the plastic wrap. The bacon, onions, and pecans will be on top, giving your spread a show-stopping look!

Serve with a variety of crackers, sliced baguette, celery sticks, or pretzels for dipping.
