Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons vinegar based hot sauce (I used Tabasco)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded, finely chopped
  • 12 ounces smoked gouda cheese, finely shredded
  • 12 ounces extra sharp cheddar, finely shredded
  • Serve with:
  • Tortilla Chips
  • Crackers
  • Veggies

Instructions

  1. Place the bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast under a hot broiler. Turn the pepper to blister all sides. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside to let the pepper steam until cool enough to handle.
  2. Carefully peel the blackened skin off each pepper, remove and discard all the seeds and membrane; chop the roasted pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and salt, stir to blend. Add the green onions, jalapeño, roasted bell pepper and cheeses; stir until well blended.
  4. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Tightly covered, the pimento cheese will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
