Using a food processor allows this to become so thick and creamy that using only a 1Tbl on a cracker or tomato slice easily can become the basis of a lunch or snack. 2 Tablespoons used the same way becomes a full lunch with veggie and fruit on the side Using a food processor allows this to become so thick and creamy that using only a 1Tbl on a cracker or tomato slice easily can become the basis of a lunch or snack. 2 Tablespoons used the same way becomes a full lunch with veggie and fruit on the side

Ingredients

    8 oz sharp white cheddar cheese
    8 oz extra sharp yellow cheddar cheese
    7 oz jar pimentos (including juice)
    1/2 cup mayonnaise

    The full fat gives the flavor to let a little 1 Tbl go a long, long way.

Directions

shred both cheeses
add pimentos and all juice to cheeses
stir in the mayonnaise
Refrigerate for up to a month -0 if it lasts that long

I use a food process to shred, then add the pimentos and mayonnais and pulse until the right consistency - spreadable. That way a 1 Tblsp serving will cover 2 crackers and reduce the calories & sodium.
