Instructions
- Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes to ensure smooth spreading.

- Serve immediately at room temperature, encouraging guests to spread the cream cheese and Jezebel sauce combination onto crackers.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always let your cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. This ensures a smooth, spreadable texture that's perfect for dipping.
- Presentation is Key: Use a beautiful serving platter to make your appetizer look as good as it tastes. The visual appeal can be just as important as the flavor!
- Sauce Distribution: Pour the Jezebel sauce slowly and strategically, allowing some of the cream cheese to peek through for a more attractive presentation.
- Make Ahead: This dish can be prepared up to an hour before serving and kept chilled, making it perfect for stress-free entertaining.
- Cracker Selection: Choose a variety of crackers with different textures and flavors to add an extra dimension to your appetizer experience.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve at room temperature for the best flavor and most enjoyable spreading consistency.
