Tips & Twists
- Want a kick? Add a pinch of cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Make it smoky with smoked cheddar.
- Use as filling for deviled eggs
- Use it as a burger topping or grilled cheese (trust me).
- I know the standard is that iconic American white bread but elevate this spread by spreading it on thick slice of toasted sourdough, which is a healthier bread option.
