Solveig’s Pimento Cheese
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces FRESHLY GRATED extra-sharp cheddar cheese (can use a combo of smoked Swiss, Monterey Jack, and sharpest cheddar you can find)
- 1⁄4 C softened cream cheese (2 ounces), room temperature
- Scant 1/2 C jarred pimento or other roasted red peppers (from a 7-ounce jar), finely diced
- 3 T Duke’s, Hellmann’s or other high-quality store- bought mayonnaise
- 1 t Dijon mustard (or more to taste)
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 t granulated garlic
- 1⁄2 t dried red chili flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Place the cream cheese in a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add all ingredients and beat until combined. (You can make this in advance so the avors meld well. Pimento cheese keeps in the refrigerator for 1 week.)
- Serve with celery, small hallowed out mini peppers, crackers, or make grilled cheese.
