If you like bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches, you'll love the flavors in this made-for-a-crowd appetizer.
1 cup mayonnaise
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
1 cup shredded lettuce
7 slices (3/4 cup) bacon, cooked, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 ounces (3/4 cup) deli LAND O LAKES® Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Crackers or lahvosh (Armenian cracker bread), broken into serving-size pieces
Combine mayonnaise, cream cheese and pepper in small mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth (1 to 2 minutes).
Spread mayonnaise mixture onto bottom of 9-inch round serving dish; top with lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, green onions and cheese. Serve with crackers.
Makes 24 servings.
TIP: Mayonnaise mixture can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Store refrigerated. Top with remaining ingredients just before serving.
TIP: Lahvosh is a thin, leavened crisp bread found in sizes ranging from 6 to 16 inches in diameter. It is also called Armenian cracker bread. In its crisp state, it can be used for dipping or with spreads. The softened form of lahvosh can be used to make large wraps or appetizers. To soften the crisp lahvosh, hold the bread under cold running water, making sure both sides are wet. Wrap in two damp towels for 1 hour or so until it becomes pliable. It can then be spread with fillings, rolled up and eaten as a wrap or sliced for pinwheel appetizers
