Tips & Tricks

Tips & Tricks

We recommend that you opt for rustic, freshly baked sourdough bread for the best taste and let the whipped cream cheese reach room temperature. This will make it easier to spread on top of the bread. If you prefer a smokier flavour, consider cooking the bacon on a grill rather than preparing it in the oven.
