Grate the cheese: Start by grating the cheddar cheese using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. For a creamier texture, you can also finely chop the cheese.
8 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese
Drain and chop the pimentos: Drain the pimentos from the jar. Finely chop the pimentos into small pieces.
7 ounce pimentos
Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cheese, chopped pimentos, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and seasonings. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
¼ cup cream cheese, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon chili flakes, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, salt
Adjust the consistency: If you prefer a creamier pimento cheese, add more mayonnaise. If you like it thicker, reduce the amount of mayonnaise. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
Let it chill: Transfer the pimento cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, your pimento cheese is ready to be served. Spread it on crackers, use it as a sandwich filling, or enjoy it as a dip with your favorite veggies. The possibilities are endless!
