Pimento Cheese Dip
Pimento Cheese is made with simple ingredients like cream cheese (no mayo), cheddar and pimento peppers for a delicious spread or dip.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 ounce block of cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounce can pimento peppers
- 3 tablespoons diced jalapeno peppers
- 1 teaspoon minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese in a medium sized bowl for 1-2 minutes
- Add in the remaining ingredients and whip the mixture again until smooth and homogenous.
- Chill in the fridge for one hour.
- Serve with crackers, veggies, etc. and enjoy!
Notes
- It is best to store this cheese dip in an airtight container.
- It’ll keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- I don’t recommend storing pimento cheese in the freezer. It dramatically changes the consistency of the dip and it won’t taste as fresh compared to when it is stored in the fridge.
- For serving at an outdoor buffet or picnic, serve in a metal bowl nested inside of a slightly larger bowl filled with very icy water. (For food safety, keep it below 40°F.)
