Southern Pimento cheese is known as the caviar of the south. Did you guys know that? If you follow me on Instagram then you know I’m obsessed with Pub Cheese from Trader Joe’s.

This recipe is better than the famous stuff you can buy at the grocery store.

This easy cheesy spread makes bellies happy and is great on anything like crackers and fresh veggies.

The possibilities are endless! Or the spreadabilities. Pardon my pun.

🧀 What you'll need for hot pimento cheese recipe:

• Mayonnaise
• Cream Cheese
• Pimentos
• Smoked Paprika Spice Blend
• Sharp Cheddar Cheese

🧀 Ingredients For Homemade Smoked Paprika Spice Blend:

• Smoked Paprika (You can find this at your local grocery store) plain paprika is fine too
• Garlic Powder
• Onion powder
• Cayenne pepper
• Himalayan sea salt
• Black pepper

I love this spicy pimento cheese dip so much that I won’t be spending money on Pub Cheese anymore.

My trick to making this pimento cheese spread stand out is to add cayenne pepper and paprika. Trust me, you’ll love it!

You don’t need to add too much cayenne pepper, just a smidge will do the trick!

If you like your cheese dip really spicy, add more cayenne.

You will need a food processor for this recipe. I’m obsessed with this mini one that I picked up from Home Good’s ages ago, but Amazon has a great one too for a decent price.

Homemade Pimento Cheese will keep fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

What are your plans for Memorial Day Weekend? Pimento cheese is the perfect appetizer for any holiday! Add this delicious cheese to any vegetable platter and you will be the hit of the party.

I like to chop up fresh cucumbers like lemon cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, olives, celery, and radish. I add this simple pimento cheese to the middle and use it as a veggie dip.

This easy appetizer recipe takes no time at all and is wonderful for movie nights with the family.

My simple homemade pimento cheese recipe will be a hit at all of your upcoming spring and summer family functions!
