Jalapeno Pimento Cheese

Jun.posted by Paula 25 Comments

Jalapeno Pimento Cheese is spicy and full of flavor! An easy pimento cheese recipe, this Jalapeno Pimento Cheese is very versatile. Serve it as a spread on a sandwich. Serve it as a hot or cold dip. It’s always a crowd-pleaser!

Easy Jalapeo Pimento Cheese recipe

Well, Hello Summer!!

What took you so long!

Don’t you just love Summer? But, I never got the ‘lazy’ days of Summer thing, ours are any but lazy! But, whatev…be lazy if you can!

Jalapeno Pimento Cheese

Classic, creamy & simple, my version of this snacking-staple is full of flavor with sweet pimento and spicy jalapeño!

I love pimento cheese almost as much as I love macaroni and cheese. The last thing I want to do during the hottest days of summer is cook something hot. Lucky, for me (and you) I kicked up some pimento cheese and added jalapenos to it.

  1. I used two different types of cheese in my recipe. You can use one or your favorite. I like gouda and Monterrey jack in pimento cheese as well.
  2. If the jalapeno doesn’t add enough kick for you, add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  3. This is a great addition to my Southern Inspired Charcuterie Board.
  4. Olive oil mayonnaise is a great alternative if you’re trying to lighten up this recipe.

This Jalapeno Pimento Cheese would be great on a cold sandwich or with crackers. Try it also as a spread on your cheese tray. Additionally, it makes a tasty addition to a hot grilled cheese sandwich or as a hot dip where the cheese gets ooey and gooey and delicious!

Pimento Cheese is a staple at our tailgate as well. It is so simple to make and a crowd-pleaser that we just cannot have game day with out it. Click here for more tailgating recipes.

How would you eat pimento cheese spread?

      I haven’t had it on turkey, but I have on ham. It was good. I like it best on Ritz crackers 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

    Pimento cheese sandwiches with sliced red onion on wheat bread is my favorite summer lunch. I never thought about adding jalapeno. Now I’ll just have to make this one. Oh well…..!

    Thanks for sharing, Paula.

    I cannot stand macaroni and cheese! Can you believe I never once had Pimento Cheese until I moved to Missouri?? Now I love it and adding a little jalapeno to it sounds perfect! Thank you ma’am!

      My kids don’t like mac and cheese and I could live off it. They don’t like Pimento cheese either and it’s a close second favorite for me. Have a great week, Danni.

    Being a southerner, I do love my pimento cheese. I too put a little jalapeno in mine for heat. Kind of kicks it up a notch.
