Pancetta, a cured but unsmoked bacon, gives this savory spread a distinct tangy note. Prosciutto or other tangy dry-cured ham can be substituted if pancetta is not available.
 

2 oz. pancetta, finely chopped

2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

1 clove garlic, minced

1. Beat all ingredients together in large bowl until well blended.

2. Spoon into a small serving bowl, or into a foil-lined 2-cup mold.

3. Cover; refrigerate overnight.

4. Turn out onto a small serving plate, remove foil; serve with crackers.

Makes about 2 cups. (16 servings)

*Substitute 2 ounces prosciutto, finely chopped, for pancetta, if desired.
