IngredientsÂ
- 1 pound cream cheese
- ½ cup diced pimentos
- ½ cup mayonnaise, or more as needed
- 1 ½ pounds shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Heat cream cheese in the microwave at half power. Once it’s softened, place it in a mixing bowl and add pimentos and mayonnaise. Mix to a smooth consistency with very few chunks of cream cheese remaining. Combine with remaining ingredients and mix well. Add more mayonnaise as desired to make pimento cheese smoother and easier to spread. Keep refrigerated for up to a week.
