When it comes to party appetizers, it’s impossible to go wrong with cheese. And the Company Cheese Spread is no exception. It’s the ideal dish for stunning guests with little time and effort (gotta love that). Here, we combine sweet and salty elements to create an enticing end product. It’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser, and after you try it, you’ll see why!

To ensure easy removal, line your bundt pan with plastic wrap. For this recipe, I used an 8-cup bundt pan, but you could use a little larger pan if that’s all you had on hand. If you’re feeding a large gathering, you may double the recipe and use a full 12-cup bundt pan. The cheese spread begins with a mixture of tangy cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Two types of shredded cheese are combined: mozzarella and cheddar.

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to find what you like best. Next up. Finish with bacon crumbles, green onions, and garlic powder.Sprinkle the chopped pecans, green onions, and bacon bits into the prepared skillet, then ladle in the cheese mixture.

Press the spread into a uniform layer to fill out the bundt shape. Now, place that baby in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up. When ready to serve, transfer the bundt to a serving plate and ladle the pepper jelly into the center of the spread. Time to break out the crackers or pretzels and dive in!
