Ingredients

  • 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard (more To Taste)
  • 1 Tablespoon Adobo Sauce From Canned Chipotles (more To Taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
  • 8 ounces, weight Monterey Jack Or Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
  • 4 ounces, weight Sliced Pimentos, Drained
  • 2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Dill

Method

  • Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon, adobo, and black pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer.
  • Mix it until totally combined (if you have a few lumps from the cream cheese, no problem; you wont see them later!)
  • Add the cheddar and Monterey jack and mix gently until combined.
  • Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl and make sure all the ingredients are mixed together.
  • Stir in the pimentos and dill.
  • Taste and mix in more of whatever you think it needs.
  • Add more cheese if you like the pimento cheese to be less creamy; add less if you like it to be more creamy.
  • Refrigerate pimento cheese for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Serve with crackers, small hollowed-out peppers, carrot and celery sticks, and olives.
  • (Or make small sandwiches or even a grilled cheese with it!)
  • ***Note: For best results, make sure the cheddar and jack cheeses are nice and cold when you mix them in.
