Almond Pinecone

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups almonds, toasted
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 oz cream cheese
5 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
1 tablespoon Green onion; chopped
white pepper to taste

Preparation:

Toast almonds and set aside. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 1 hour. Form the cream cheese mixture into the shape of a pinecone. Beginning at the bottom, gently press the almonds in rows across the pinecone shape. Continue the rows until the whole shape is covered, and resembles a pinecone. Either eat immediately or refrigerate. Allow to come up to room temperature before serving. Garnish with greens. Serves 8.
