This Bacon and Jalapeno Cheese Log is an easy appetizer with a little bit of heat and a lot of bacon with creamy cheese for a delicious and easy cheese spread.
In a saute pan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and jalapenos and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and beginning to brown.
Spread jalapeno-onion mixture onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper to cool.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat cream cheese till soft and smooth. Add Mexican style cheese and beat to mix. Add cooled jalapeno-onion mixture and 3/4 of the bacon crumbles. Briefly beat to combine.
Spoon mixture into a rough log shape onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle remaining bacon crumbles and green onions, if using, over the top of the cheese log. As tightly as possible, wrap plastic wrap around the cheese log and press into shape.
Refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve with your favorite crackers.
