Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the finely chopped onion, chopped green onion, and smoked paprika to the bowl.
Chop the onions finely to ensure a smooth texture.
Fold in the smoked ham, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Dice the ham into small pieces for a better mix.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Taste the spread before adding more pepper to avoid over-seasoning.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and garnish with additional chopped green onion.
Chill the spread for 15 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor.
