Introduction

No-mayo pimento cheese spread; my family calls this 'pepper cheese.' No-mayo pimento cheese spread; my family calls this 'pepper cheese.'

Number of Servings: 32

Ingredients

2 8-oz packages Neufchatel cheese

8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese

4 tbs sour cream

7 oz can diced pimentos, drained (120 g dry weight)

1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced

Tips

Use preshredded cheddar cheese, and this is easy. The sour cream is also optional, but helps make this an easy-to-spread recipe. A little salt or garlic salt might also be nice.

Half a jalapeno adds just a little kick, without making it terribly spicy. Exclude for no spice, or use a whole jalapeno for more!

Directions

Whip cheese and sour cream with an electric mixer.

Add peppers and mix until combined.

Store in the refrigerator; best left overnight for flavors to combine.
