This Jalapeño Pimento Cheese Spread is a classic southern appetizer with a kick of a twist.
I have a group of ladies that get together on a regular basis and we take turns bringing snacks and refreshments.

This week, I prepared a classic southern recipe, pimento cheese spread, and gave it my own twist with some freshly minced jalapeño peppers. I served this spread with gluten free crackers. It was a fantastic hit and people were asking for the recipe left and right.
How to Make Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Spread
To begin, dice 2 tablespoons of jarred pimentos. You can find these in the grocery store near the jarred peppers, pickles, & olives section of the grocery store.
In a mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces of room temperature, reduced fat cream cheese and 5 ounces each of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
Add in the diced pimentos, 1/2 teaspoon each of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Mix until these are all combined.
Seed and mince a jalapeño pepper. Stir the minced pepper into the spread.
Serve this with your favorite crackers, toasted bread, veggies…oh the possibilities are endless!
