Note

The original recipe mentions using brown bread as an alternative to white bread. You can use whole wheat or rye for a nuttier flavor and additional fiber.

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency without lumps.

For a stronger flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.

This spread can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before spreading.
