Pimento Cheese

It has officially been one month since we moved to Nashville! What better way to celebrate my new home in the south than with some pimento cheese?? I have to warn you: this dip is extremely addictive!! It’s sure to bit the hit of the party and your friends will beg to make it all summer long!

Ingredients:

8 ounces extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, shredded*

4 ounces white Cheddar (preferably Vermont Cheddar), shredded*

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

4 ounces diced pimentos, drained

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

1 teaspoon garlic powder 

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

*Shred the cheese from a block- it’s more work, but worth the effort!

Directions:

Add the Cheddars, cream cheese, pimentos and mayo to a bowl and mix together. Add the chives, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika and salt and pepper and mix until thoroughly combined.

Serve with crackers, pretzels, or even top your burger with it!
