Cheongyang Chilli & Spring Onion Cream Cheese Baguette

Cheongyang chilli and spring onion cream cheese baguette 🥖

I wanted a baguette loaded with cream cheese, opened the fridge,

and happened to have spring onion and cheongyang chillies!

I used to make just spring onion cream cheese,

but adding cheongyang chilli gives it a spicy kick that's so much better!

Instructions:

  1. Slice the spring onion and deseed and finely chop the cheongyang chillies. I used 1/3 of a stalk of spring onion and 2 chillies — adjust to taste!
  2. Cut the bacon small and fry until crisp. When it's golden brown, add the spring onion and chilli, fry together, then let it cool a little.
  3. Halve the baguette and toast it lightly in the oven.
  4. Mix a 190 g tub of cream cheese with the bacon, spring onion and chilli, add 2–3 rounds of maple syrup and a little ground pepper. Add more syrup or honey if you like it sweeter.
  5. Rest the mixed cream cheese in the fridge for about 30 minutes — it tastes much better!
  6. Spread it generously on the toasted baguette and cut into bite-size pieces — done!
