Instructions:

• Step 1 - Gather your ingredients. #1 - 1/4 TSP White Pepper, #2 - 1 TSP Dill Weed Dried, #3 - 1 Lemon (Juice Only), #4 - 8 Oz Cream Cheese, #5 - 1 TBSP Horseradish (The Real Strong Stuff), #6 - 1 TBSP Dijon Mustard, #7 - 1 TBSP Garlic Confit aka Garlic Love.
• Step 2 - Create a double boiler. Add about 4-5 cups of water to a saucepan. Put it on the stovetop and turn it on high.
• Step 3 - Heat cheese in a mixing bowl. Once you place the cheese in a mixing bowl, place it over the top of the saucepan. As the water heats up, it will steam and cause the cream cheese to melt. You can also place your cream cheese in a coffee cup and microwave it for 2-3 minutes or until spreadable. Be sure your mixing bowl is larger than the saucepan so it can sit on top of the saucepan. I flip the cream cheese block with a rubber spatula after 10 minutes, then after 10 more minutes, 20 minutes total, grab the mixing bowl with a towel or oven mitt and remove it from the steam heat. You can turn off the stovetop now.
• Step 4 - Mix in all ingredients. Take all the ingredients and pour them in the mixing bowl, then mix with a rubber spatula. I find that using a whisk, removes the small little cream cheese balls, but too much remains on the whisk and I feel like I’m wasting too much, so I use a spatula to mix. It takes a minute or two to get all the ingredients incorporated together.
• Step 5 - Store for later. Once the cream cheese and ingredients are mixed, use the rubber spatula to scrape the mixture into a reusable container, then plop it in the refrigerator for use later.
• Step 6 - Toast bagels. Toast your favorite bagel. For this example, I used plain bagels. Be careful if you are cutting a bagel. It’s one of the leading causes of kitchen injury.
• Step 7 - Spread mixture on toasted bagels. Get out your favorite spreader and use it to spread copious amounts of this cream cheese spread on your toasted bagels.
• Step 8 - Add smoked salmon. Add layers of smoked salmon then get out your favorite oil and vinegar dressing and lightly splash some on some mixed greens. Toss well. Add a handful over the top of the smoked salmon layer.
• Step 9 - Marry the parts. Slowly tilt each half together, then after you are about halfway there, quickly close the pieces together and create the final sandwich. Walla.
• Step 10 - Slice and enjoy. Slice in half and enjoy. The flavors of this salmon spread will wake up your taste buds.
