If one said a blessing over a milk product within 6 hours of eating meat what is he to do?[1]
He may taste and swallow[2] the food in order to prevent the blessing from being said in vain. This however, may only be done if he already recited an after blessing after his meat meal [and he has cleaned his mouth or at least one hour has passed].[3]
[1] Zechor Leavraham Y.D .2; Zivcheiy Tzedek 89:3; Kaf Hachaim 89:6
[2] One is to swallow the food and not merely taste it and spit it out. [Zechor Leavraham ibid; Zivcheiy Tzedek ibid; Kaf Hachaim ibid; See Admur 167:9; Seder Birchas Hanehnin 9:1 that one must swallow the food when saying a blessing. This is unlike the ruling of Mur Uketzia 210; Shut Kol Gadol 72 who rule so long as one had intent to eat it, if he spits it out it is not a blessing in vain. See Piskeiy Teshuvos 210:9; Vetzaruch Iyun on his omitting the ruling of Admur brought above. See Topics in Practical Halacha Volume 1 Halacha 33 for the full details of this subject.]
[3] See Poskim ibid who depends the allowance on the opinions who rule it is permitted to eat dairy so long as one has recited Birchas Hamazon
You should immediately wash hands with a blessing, and then eat the bread without repeating the blessing beforehand.
Hagahos Rav Akiva Eiger 158:3; Biur Halacha 158:11 “Mivareich”; Igros Moshe O.C. 2:53; Piskeiy Teshuvos 158:26-27 footnote 135; Unlike Shaareiy Teshuvah 167:13 in name of Birkeiy Yosef 167:13 that he should first eat less then a Kezayis of bread and then wash
