Baked Pimento Cheese
Description
This Baked Pimento Cheese starts with a base of softened cream cheese blended smoothly with sharp cheddar and spicy pepper jack cheeses, delivering a balance of creamy texture and bold flavors. Mayonnaise adds moisture and richness, and diced pimentos contribute sweetness and a subtle bite. Seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, the mixture is evenly combined and baked at 350°F until thoroughly warmed and melted.
The bake softens and slightly melds the cheese mixture, offering a warm, spreadable texture. It can be served alongside crackers, various breads, or fresh vegetables, making it suitable for casual snacking or party appetizers.
