Step 1

Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until they are fully combined, about 30 seconds.

Step 2

Next, add the cheddar cheese, jalapeños (if desired), and pimentos. Pulse just to combine; you don’t want to chop the cheese too much.

Step 3

Enjoy the pimento cheese as desired with cracker, veggies, or as a spread. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
