CREAMY HERBED PANCETTA SPREAD
Makes about 2 cups. (16 servings)
2 oz. pancetta, finely chopped
2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 clove garlic, minced
Directions
Beat all ingredients together in large bowl until well blended.

Turn out onto a small serving plate, remove foil; serve with crackers.
*Substitute 2 ounces prosciutto, finely chopped, for pancetta, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Pancetta, a cured but unsmoked bacon, gives this savory spread a distinct tangy note.
Prosciutto or other tangy dry-cured ham can be substituted if pancetta is not available.
