I omit cream cheese. Add four hardboiled eggs, peeled & diced or minced. (I use egg slicer, then turn whole sliced egg 180 degrees & slice again. Minces nicely.) I use large jar (7 oz.) of diced pimientos. Use on sandwiches with lettuce; heat slightly in bowl for dip; or spread on toast for breakfast.
