Pimento Cheese Spread

A close second to Jen's infamous appetizer. Delicious with a beer and crackers while watching The Game.

• 1/2 pound extra sharp, white Vermont cheddar cheese
• 1/2 pound extra sharp, New York State cheddar cheese
• 17 ounce jar of pimentos drained
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Salt to taste
• Cayenne pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise

Finely grate the two cheeses into a mixing bowl. On a plate, mash the pimentos well with a fork until they’re very pulpy. Add them to the cheeses along with the pepper salt and cayenne. Mix until well blended. Using a fork, fold in the mayonnaise and mash until the spread is smooth adding a little more mayonnaise if it appears dry. Cover well and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Can keep up to one week if tightly covered in the refrigerator.
