pimento cheese recipe

This is our favorite pimento cheese recipe! This pimento cheese is partially whipped and has so much flavor. Perfect for dipping or melting!

Pimento Cheese

sharp white cheddar cheese, (freshly grated)

cream cheese, (softened)

pimentos, (drained)

mayonnaise

garlic powder

onion powder

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

kosher salt and pepper

chives, (for topping)

Freshly grate the cheddar cheese and set about 4 ounces of it aside.

Combine the cream cheese, drained pimentos, remaining white cheddar, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse and blend until combined and somewhat whipped - you don’t want to overwhip it. I pulse for about a minute off and on until it appears blended but not 100% smooth.

Remove the pimento cheese from the processor and place it in a bowl. Stir in the remaining white cheddar. At this point you can store it in the fridge for a few days. To serve, top with the fresh chives!

Serve with pretzels, crackers, chips, carrots, celery or any of your favorite dippers. Or make any of the recipes I linked above!
