Swiss and Bacon Dip


8 slices bacon, chopped
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 rounded teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
3 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup smoked almonds, coarsely chopped
bread and/or veggies, for dipping

Preheat oven to 400F.

Brown bacon in nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Drain crisp bacon bits on paper towels.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon, Swiss and scallions with cooked bacon. Transfer to a shallow small casserole or baking dish and bake until golden and bubbly at edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Top with chopped smoked almonds. Place dip on a platter and surround warm casserole with breads and carrots for dipping.
Review: This dip is really, really, REALLY good! The only down side to this stuff is that it's SO not low fat. I ended up using green onions instead of scallions and honey mustard instead of dijon because that is what I had at home but it still turned out really yummy!
