Ingredients
- 1 cup macadamia nuts
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roughly chop the macadamia nuts and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Stir in half of the chopped macadamia nuts, reserving the rest for topping.
Lightly grease a small baking dish with the olive oil, then spread the mixture evenly into the dish.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped macadamia nuts evenly over the top of the spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the spread is hot and bubbly, and the nuts are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the hot macadamia spread with assorted crackers or toasted bread slices for dipping or spreading.
