My spicy homemade pimento cheese spread is loaded with yummy cheese, a little spice, and just enough mayo to hold it all together.

This spread is fantastic served with crackers as an appetizer.

And, this spread is phenomenal as a base for a sandwich.

If you don’t like any heat, just leave out the minced Serrano pepper.

You can also make my pimento cheese into a cracker.

These crackers are perfect stand alone or as sturdy base for dips and spreads.

I included that recipe as well.

Instructions

1. Grate the cheeses using a hand grater or food processor.
2. Mix grated cheeses, cream cheese, all spices, pimento, and serano pepper in a blender or food processor until thoroughly combined.
3. Scrape this mixture into a bowl, cover, and chill at least 4 hours.

To Make Crackers

1. Whisk together flour and baking powder.
2. Add to the food processor.
3. Pulse until completely mixed together.
4. Dump the mixture out onto seran wrap and shape into two round logs.
5. Wrap each log separately and chill for at least 4 hours.
6. Slice each log into 1/4 inch discs.
7. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
8. Baket at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 -15 minutes until golden brown on bottom.

Notes

• Use block cheese and grate it.  Do not use pre-shredded cheese.
• The Serrano pepper does not give tremendous heat, especially when you remove the pulp and seeds.  Don’t be intimidated.
• If you are looking for even more flavor, smoke your cream cheese.  DIVINE.
• If making crackers, my full recipe makes 72 crackers.

My Sandwich Recipe

I use Texas Toast Garlic French bread.

Next, place it in the oven and follow the box directions for the correct temperature.

Bake the bread for approximately 4 minutes.

Remove the bread from the oven and spread my garlic basil mayonnaise onto each slice.

Next, place pimento cheese on the bread slices.

Bake in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Add cooked bacon, lettuce, and garden tomato slices to one side of the toast.

Place the slices together.

Enjoy!
