Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). I love the way my kitchen fills with warmth as the oven heats up. While it’s warming, I take a mixing bowl and combine the softened cream cheese with the melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. It’s a good idea to taste this mixture before using it—oh, the aroma is already heavenly! It should be nice and creamy, perfect for rolling up in that crispy bacon.
