Pimento Cheese Spread
Report
Pimento Cheese Spread is a creamy, chunky combination of sharp cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, diced pimento peppers, garlic powder, and salt blended to a pale pink. It provides a tangy, slightly smoky cheese spread that is versatile for snacking or sandwiches.
Description
This spread mixes shredded sharp cheddar cheese with softened cream cheese and mayonnaise to create a creamy base. Chopped, drained, and dried pimento peppers add color and a mild pepper flavor. Garlic powder and kosher salt season the mixture. The ingredients are combined in a food processor and pulsed until fully blended but still retaining some texture.
The result is a spread with a balance of sharp and creamy cheese tones offset by the mild sweetness and color of pimentos. It can be refrigerated until serving and makes a popular topping or dip for crackers and sandwiches.
