Jalapeño Cheese Spread Recipe
Sharing a recipe for a smoky and spicy Jalapeño Cheese Spread, an easy appetizer recipe.
I bend the rules a bit and made a pimento-less Pimento Cheese Spread. In this case, jalapeños are a great stand-in and bring a little heat to the game.
All that being said, feel free to add pimentos to yours! A 4-ounce jar of diced pimentos would be just the right amount.
A little spicy and a little smoky, this Jalapeño Cheese Spread is an easy-to-make appetizer and a great spread on crackers or little rye toasts.
In case your grocery store doesn’t carry those little rye toasts, simply buy the thinly sliced loaf of Rye Bread, slice off the edges to make a nice rectangle and then toast them for the perfect rye toasts for your Jalapeño Cheese Spread.

How long will the dip last in the refrigerator and could I substitute canned chopped jalopenos?
